I coached a class Christmas Eve morning. We played all Christmas music and I had a prizes for the top Myzone Point earners. This group of people always has a good time.

Christmas morning.
Neighbor's cute Olaf setup, with the girls in their swim suits for a night swim.
Brian and I went to a Mario themed birthday party. We got there on time which apparently was super early before there was food, and left when people started arriving. We ate a couple nachos then filled our bellies with our favorite Potato balls and pastries from Porto's.
My work attire most days. December is Coach Nat's birthday month.
Eleanor visiting the HIIT Studio were I work. She loves to wear my backpack when we leave the gym.
My birthday present that Brian insisted we go to. So You Think You Can Dance Live. We agreed the season we went to shortly after Alice was born was way better. Less Disney-esque, more artistic.
Bought our first artificial tree this year for $40 at Target. Our old one was given to us for free in Iowa and the lights were patchily functioning. Alice is seen below getting really excited to see wrapped gifts.
Scarlett loves to sing and is getting so much better at reading. She likes to look up Children's Primary Songs.
Eleanor's first pigtails at Church. You can see we're having a snow free December in CA.
To fill that void, we attended the Hawaiian Gardens Christmas Party again this year, where they fill a courtyard with artificial snow. The kids love it!
December 12th 2019- This mom turns 30.
Alice singing "Christmas Cookies and Holiday Hearts, That's the Way the Holiday Starts...." Heritage Park Tot Lot
The older girls singing Santa at Heritage Park after Alice's Preschool performance. E was napping.
Our Ward Christmas Party where we all were asked to dress like we lived in Bethlehem when Christ was born. Alice was upset because she didn't get a star at first. That was promptly resolved.
Scarlett with the other angels.
Three hooligans posing with the three wisemen, our Bishopric dressed to give out candy.
Christmas gifts from my gym members. I love love love my job and hobby.
Heritage Park Tot Lot Christmas Party. It was pretty crazy with a roaming toddler and trying to get everyone food, but it was cute.
More gifts from sweet ward member family on Christmas Eve day. I sang with the choir while Dad suffered with an exceptionally wild Eleanor that day. It was refreshing & uplifting to participate in the choir.
