Savannah performed as a doll with her dance class at a retirement center. It was fun for her and the old folks loved it.
Dan, Savvy, & Paige were once again able to go to Ballet Idaho's production of The Nutcracker. The girls said they thought this year was even better than last year. They loved going with their dad.
This year our bishop asked Dan to be Santa, and be in a skit with Savannah. I honestly am not sure why they would ask a Dad who has small children to pretend to be Santa? However, Dan was a sport and said he'd play the part. When he got there he realized he'd forgotten the beard! The bishop told him to go on stage anyways. Well anyways it was clear he was not the "real" santa. He gave a great message about the true meaning of Christmas despite being called an imposter.
The next few pictures are of the girls decorating our family tree. This is one of our favorite activities of the holiday season.
Here are all the kids this Sunday in their dresses (and suit for Abe) that I made for them. They were excited to finally be able to wear them (except for Abe- he despises the tie and dress shirt!)
Here he is pre-suit.....
and 30 minutes after wearing the suit. Doesn't he look nice and cozy?

Don't you just love Christmas? Good job on the dresses Mere, they look great. I wondered when I got your cute card and picture if you had made the dresses. Your kids are so lucky to have you as a Mom.
I just want to eat your little boy up! He is a doll face....the girls are adorable to but there is just something about a sweet little sleeping baby.....
Beautiful dresses Meredith! And little Abes suit is totally cute. I have a little tie hanging on my x-mas tree for our little guy. He probably won't want to wear it either:) I thought it was funny Dan was Santa w/out beard. Atleast there's no confusing him and the "real" Santa for your kids:) Have a happy New Year!!
I can't believe you made those dresses sissy! They are absolutely gorgeous!! And the suit is just incredible. He is growing up so much and somehow seems to get cuter and cuter. Wish we could've been there with you guys to celebrate :(
