December is always a busy month for us.  We are running from one activity to the next.  It seems we have a lot of Christmas traditions we like to do each year.

Every year we attend our Ward Christmas Breakfast.  This year Alessia was the first to sit on Santa’s lap and managed to pull off his beard while getting comfy on his lap.  Quite funny.  Luckily none of the kids noticed including Alessia.

We also try to make it to the  Ethel M Cactus Garden with the Smart Family.  The cactus are all decked out in lights, usually some Smart Kid is singing in a choir and we can never pass up the free chocolate after touring the chocolate factory.
