Christmas Parties

I am sure everyone can relate that Christmas is the time for parties and we have had our fair share this year. First we went to our annual Stake Christmas Dance that they have for the adults. Ben LOVES this activity and is always excited to go and dance. I on the other hand don't mind the slow dancing but for those of you privileged enough to see Ben dance you can understand what I mean when I say I get a little red in the face. I am AMAZED how a musician with such rhythm when he plays his bassoon has no "rhythm" on the dance floor. Oh well...he enjoys himself and we all get a good laugh. Right, honey?

Us with our good friends Ben and Sommer.

He is just so cute, I couldn't resist.

Ho, Ho, Ho. Merry Christmas!

Next we headed off to Ben's work party. It is always fun to get together with his fellow Band mates. They are wonderful people and we are going to miss them when we leave for El Paso.

Ben with the woodwind quintet. The only man. Poor guy. It gets ruff for him sometimes but he loves the ladies he works with.


I couldn't resist including this picture of little Emily. I am amazed at how far she can pull that mouth.


Deb, Liz, Me, Holly


Santa decided he wanted to sit on Mrs. Claus lap and let her know what he wanted for Christmas. Lucky me.

We hope you are all enjoying your holiday season. We sure are.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Cute Christmas pics! What a cute couple you two make. I confess I wish I could see Ben's smooth dance moves!

We have had fewer Christmas gatherings this year than I think ever before and Christmas somehow just doesn't feel the same without them. But it will once we get to Utah and snow and family next week! I can't wait! Where are you going to be for Christmas?

I love the top picture of the pair of you! Beautiful couple you are! I am so excited you are headed out to TX soon! I will pray it goes smoothly for you. But gosh darn it, E.P. is like the opposite end from us --about 8 hours I hear. But we have friends and family over the border in both White Sands, NM and Albuquerque so we will be heading to E.P. soon enough. I would LOVE to see you guy's! Its only been 3 months, but this has been a great move ~~we have just loved so much about TX. Email me when you get there! Are you driving? Good Luck you guys and happy New Year!!

Aha! I am leaving a comment! Those parties sure looked fun. I will always remember the Ward Christmas party because we came home with the killer stomach bug.
