while dad was away...

we helped put up christmas lights...we enjoyed temple lights (more than once)...we had donuts and milk, and visited "bilingual santa" at the kids elementary school...we went to the chandler lights festival, where cousins danced in the parade...we learned about the nativity, and helped grandma with her arrangements...and went to different parties where we visited with "santa's helpers." (my olders are at the age now where they never fail to shout out, "that's not the real santa!" and then we have the talk about how santa can't make it to everyone's parties, so he sends his "helpers" instead.)
