Christmas Camp

I love holidays and traditions. We had our Silent Night & Christmas Camp out on Sunday!

I usually do PJ's for Christmas Eve but thought it would be fun for our camp out. We let the kids get out their sleeping bags and sleep under the tree with the lights on! We do S'mores and look through our Christmas scrapbook. Our Silent Night is usually just a quiet night with as few distractions as possible with no TV. We just read Christmas stories until they fall asleep.

As you can see Silent can still be busy and falling asleep doesn't just happen! There was no school on Monday so it was fun! This is normally the position Heath prefers, as I'm typing this he is on the couch downstairs in the same position and spends most of Sacrament meeting this way as well!

A Higley Thankgiving

Yes we are a little slow getting these photos posted, but like they say "better late than never." Jana was the pie woman for Thanksgiving again this year. She is pictured here with just some of the many pies she made. They were all delicious. The fact that they were all gone by the next day is a testament to that.

The kids all enjoyed playing Zooreka together. Of course the big kid in the middle is Dan. He was really good to help all the kids be able to play. Even Heath had a fun time with this game and he can't read which is kind of important for this game. It is not really designed for little kids. Thanks Dan!!
We had a fun and relaxing Thanksgiving and it was over way too fast. One of the highlights not pictured was a trip to the Idaho Falls temple with Jana's parents and Chad and Audrey. That was very cool, we even had lunch in the temple cafeteria, some pretty good food! Gratitude fills are hearts! We are so grateful for healthy, active & happy kids, grateful for our employment, our family and of course our testimonies of the Gospel of Jesus Christ!

Heath Performs at WWCC Children's Center Christmas Program

Heath did a great job being a snowflake during this song. He was very fun to watch and he did a great job! He knew all the words to the songs they sang but when he got up there he was too focused on all the actions to remember to sing.

After the program he got to have some cookies which he promptly got all over his face.



And finally he got to see Santa!
