Payne Family: December 2013

Of course we couldn't get too far into December without making our annual FHE Christmas cookies! The kids love making sugar cookies! Here is Brek having fun!

Brek's school had a Christmas concert. Every grade got to come up and sing a couple of songs. The kindergarten classes got to wear pajamas for their songs. Brek was being pretty shy, but finally started singing at the end!

For Christmas we were able to go to Utah to see Grandma and Grandpa this year! Brock's cousin was getting married and we thought that was a pretty good excuse to go see all of Brock's family that we haven't seen in forever! (That would be all of the California family) The kids were so excited to play in the snow! The first day we were there they ran out and played in it. It was perfect weather! Here is Luke.

Grandma always makes cookies on Christmas Eve to put out for Santa. Here are the boys "helping" her.

Brek helping out, too!

Christmas morning

Christmas was so fun at Grandma and Grandpa's house! The kids were so excited and fun to watch. Tyce was hilarious because he was helping pass out the gifts and if the present was for him he would get really excited and run over to whoever gave it to him and say "Thank you Thank you Thank you! I love my present!!!!" All of this before even opening his present! He was too cute.
