The month of December is always a busy yet fun time of year. Besides the Abbott Annual Dinner for Aaron and the Christmas Banquet for Darby and Melynn, Jaxon had participated in the Middle School Christmas Concert. It is great to see how he improves.
Lots of class parties going in this month and Melynn made these
cute looking cookies for her Spanish class.

Aaron and I get to celebrate our Birthdays in December. We spent our birthday money from my Dad to get us a new patio set. We enjoy our balcony a lot more now.
We had a branch Christmas party and the Missionaries helped as the big
Santa himself along with some elves :)

Melynn was wanting some Christmas pajamas to wear on Christmas Eve
so she made herself this shirt to wear.
Christmas morning, before the kids were all awake, I took some photos of our
decorated holiday home.
This is the gingerbread house that Melynn and her friend Rana made at Melynn's party.
We always have cinnamon rolls for breakfast.
I use part of the dough I used for making dinner rolls from the night before.
We have no fireplace so our stockings go on our kitchen shelves.
We had the sister missionaries over for breakfast the morning after Christmas so that they could Skype with their families. It was an honor to provide our home to them.
It brought tears to my eyes to watch and listen to their enthusiasm as they
connected with their loved ones. What beautiful sacrifice these young women are making!
Sister Roberts, Amat and Crandall.
