Zoo lights and Santa with Grandma and Grandpa H!
Lots of pictures with Santa! Davis was good for like a half a minute. Then the arching back and screaming ensued.
Putting his letter in the mailbox for Santa.
Gingerbread House Making
For the first couple of weeks of December all Grant wanted for Christmas was a gingerbread house. He saw one of those gingerbread house kits at Costco and then at Walmart and couldn't get it out of his little head. Whenever someone would ask him what he wanted Santa to bring him he's say a gingerbread house! What an easy child:) Then at school he made a graham cracker ginger bread train and he was soooooo happy!

Nice Aunt Vanessa also indulged him in his gingerbread house dream! She had him over for a sleepover and they made one together. They planned it out for weeks and Grant was so excited about it. Whenever we'd see Vanessa they would plan what they were going to put on the house... "m&m's... definitely, candy canes...definitely," they had the funniest conversations about it. I wish I could have recorded some of them. Vanessa sent me these pictures of their fun times.
After the gingerbread house making, Vanessa, Rich, and Grandma H. took grant Elf hunting at Gardner Village and to feed the reindeer at Thanksgiving Point. He was in heaven and had the best time. Thanks guys!
More Santa!
Grant's preschool class went to see Santa at the mall and got chocolate See's suckers that were super yummy and SUPER messy!

Sarah and Paul and their beautiful little girls came to visit!!
I was so happy we got some time with the Mickelsens especially since their trip was cut short when Paul found out he had to go home early for work. We spent a wonderful afternoon together, had dinner, talked and talked, let the kids play, had a sleepover, went to the temple in the morning and then said our goodbyes. It was short but wonderful. Mickelsens' please come be our permanent house guests! That would be my dream.

It was our first time meeting little Lillie who is so happy, chubby and adorable!
The lights at Temple Square.
We were SUPER LUCKY and accidentally ran into the Smylies while they were in town from Africa! It was wonderful surprise!
Adelaide and Grant were fast friends. I love this picture. Such funny kids.
The Hepworth family Christmas party.
Vanessa put together a bunch of minute to win it games, one of which was how much Kleenex you could pull out of the box in a minute. Needless to say there was lots of Kleenex all over the family room. The boys had a hayday!

Vanessa gave Grant a reindeer "pooper" which he thought was the awesomest thing ever.
