Christmas

December came and went in a blur.  Between Christmas and a wedding in Jaron's family, it was a crazy month!

We got a pre-lit tree.  Awe. Some.


We went to see the lights at Temple Square.  A great benefit of Jaron working downtown - convenient parking.



Best. Fudge. Ever.  It's sugar cookie, and I can't find a recipe that even sounds like it might come close to this stuff.  It's from the Mousehouse Cheesehaus in Windsow, WI.  You can order online, or have an awesome family member live there that is willing to send it.  That might be the ONLY reason I don't want my parents to move back to Utah.  But there's a million reasons better than fudge that we want them back here.

We left some cookies for Santa.  Pretty impressive looking, huh?  Our neighbor gave us these, and we were too lazy busy to make our own, so we decided to share her delicious cookies with Santa.  Kaden ate the noses off before he went to bed.  Kaden also wrote the letter by himself, I just told him which letters to write.

And, Santa came! 

Our not so awesome Christmas morning family picture.

We also found out Jaron's internship at the Church History library would be coming to an end.  He was hired on full time, effective on Christmas day!  What a great present!  He has now enjoyed a week of salaried employment and had his first paid holiday today!

Woo Hoo on the job! And great job Kaden, that letter was fantastic. Did you make those stockings? They are neat.

The stockings are a tradition from Jaron's family. They're made out of 4 socks sewn together. His is from when he was a kid. I made mine a few years after we got married. Then the kids got theirs as they were born. We haven't let them decorate their own yet, so they just wear their baby clothes :)
