thanks to all the farmworths for letting us intrude on your christmas and making it so much fun for us!

visiting the dooleys for christmas

visiting santa

like mother like son

we got to go to arizona for christmas this year and on our way we got to go and see jeffs parents. it was great. we got to help out with a charity that jeffs dad helps with and we got to make gingerbread men and open presents that we all loved, it was just a good time. thanks dooleys for all that you did for us!

so last night was the family christmas party. it was great as usual. it was at natalies house this year and we just got together and ate and did white elephant gifts and then santa came. i didnt get any good pictures of abby with santa but she actually liked it this year. last year she hated everything about santa but this year she even went running up to him to give him a hug and i just missed it on the camera.

it was great to get together with the whole family and enjoy the true meaning of christmas. we hope that everyone enjoys their holiday season and has the best christmas ever.

First snow!!

we got a few inches of snow today and so we decided to get out abby's snow pants for the first time and go to my parents to play with the cousins in the snow so that she likes it, i forgot my camera for that one but when jeff came home thats what she wanted to do so we all got dressed and went out. it wasn't good packing snow so the best snow man we could make was that one that was a good 6 inches tall. it was a great night in the snow.

making gingerbread houses

i must admit that we have always loved making gingerbread house's even before abby came along but its so much better with her, they house looks worse but its more fun for sure. we had my cousin mandy and her family over and natalies husband had to work so her and her kids came over for the fun too. we had a blast.

temple square lights!

sunday night jeff and i took abby to see the lights at temple square, and she loved it. it was so much better than taking her last year, she seems to just love everthing about christmas this year and it makes it so much fun. i think that temple square is the best place to go look at lights. everything up there is just amazing and we had a lot of fun.

christmas at gardner village

jeff and i got bored so we decided to check out the elf's at gardner village. they are really cute and its a fun free thing to do with the family so i recomend it to anyone!

decorating for christmas

i love decorating for christmas! and this year so did abby. she was so funny, whenever we would get out a decoration she would get a big smile and say "oh mommy thats beautiful" and play with it until we got another one out. its great to have the house all done and the spirit of chirstmas here.
