We went to Yo3 Metro Frozen Yogurt Shop:

Our neighbor friends left birthday gifts at the door while we were away:

Another bag with treats:

We later had the Araque family over for a celebration. We had pizza then we lit a candle for Lizzy to make a wish (she wanted Yo3 Frozen yogurt so we didn’t get to light a candle at the shop).

Time for cards and gifts:

Gifts from Rachel:

From Mom and Dad:

Happy Birthday Lizzy!

We Love You So Much!!

After the birthday party we shared some Christmas gifts with the Araques since we will be heading off to NY for Christmas:

We made personalized mugs for everyone this year.

We are so grateful for the Araque family! Merry Christmas!

Yet another tree off the lot at the big box store. . .definitely not as fun, but we found a nice tree anyway. We sure do miss the tree farm that closed a few years ago!

We followed tradition with putting “snow” on the tree branches (when I was a kid we had tinsel):

Also a tradition to put a bird in a bird’s nest on the tree as the first ornament:

Garland, lights, and of course the star:

Now for the color schemed ornaments. Can you guess what are theme was this year?

Silver and Gold:

Mom was busy decorating the rest of the house the next couple of days:

Grandma (mom’s mom) in Heaven’s Nativity Scene (Avon).

Another nativity from Grandma in Heaven:

We are so grateful for our Savior Jesus Christ and we look forward to all the celebrations of his birth this Christmas!
