Christmas is Coming 2015

The lead up to Christmas was filled with decorating, cooking, cousins' breakfast, concerts, dinners out with friends, church Christmas programs, birthdays, temple preview tours, MOA visits, dinners out with family, sledding, Ann's stout cake, cousins' sleepover, and daily walks.
