The holidays are upon us



The holiday season is in full swing at the Daines household. We started the month out by attending the President's Christmas party at BYU. The kids had fun making drums, trees and necklaces. They also endured a long line to see Santa Claus and as you can see from the picture Emily is not a big fan--at least not up close and personal. I have Santa on some dark socks and at church this past Sunday Emily saw him and the socks and said "Santa." Emily also wants nothing to do with Cosmo but the other three were happy to pose for a picture. Peter Gordon is in heaven when he sees Cosmo. As he says "Cosmo is my buddy." The next party we went to was our ward Christmas party. They did a Night in Bethlehem and it was interesting. This past Friday we went to the Special Collections Christmas party and the girls were on the program. They both played a couple of Christmas songs. Becca loves being in front of a crowd and Hannah doesn't do too badly herself. This week has been pretty quiet and looks to stay that way. We are almost done with our Christmas shopping and the kids have enjoyed picking out gifts for each other. They have also enjoyed wrapping the presents--though Emily wants to unwrap them as quickly as they get wrapped. This is a joyous time of the year.
