Merry Christmas!

The Dangerfield Kids

Hitting the pinata at the Christmas Eve party Ice Sakting with Dad


Sitting with Santa after the Preschool Program

I love Christmas time! I love shopping and lots of people everywhere, and McKenzie seeing Santa, deciding if she is going to go sit on his lap or if she is going to have me sit on his lap and tell him what she wants for Christmas....it is all so much fun. As usual, we had a very busy december, starting with McKenie's Christmas preschool program...I have video, but we couldn't get it converted to the right format to put it on here, so if we figure it out, I'll post it. She memorized her parts and said them so well. After that, we had cousins dance recitals, work Christmas party, pictures in Ogden with all the Dangerfield grandkids followed by dinner at Chuck-a-grandma as Mck calls it, a sleep over at Grandma Diane's, ice skating on Christmas Eve and the annual Christmas Eve party at my parents house with Mexican food, a pinata, and presents. The best part is that Amanda and her kids came in town from Hawaii. It has been so fun to play with them. After Christmas we got to go down to see Grandma and Grandpa Topham for the weekend and play with her cousins down there. Then on New Year's day Joann held a surprise party for Gordon who celebrated his 60th birthday the other day. Everyone in the family was there. We had a blast!

McKenzie is getting so big, I can't believe she is 3 1/2. (She has started reminding me about the half part). She used to be so shy, but after a month of preschool, she informed me that she was not shy anymore and now she will talk to anyone, so to all those who have had their ears talked off by her, I apologize! She has loved to see Santa this Christmas and all she did last year, is cry when she saw him. She want to primary for the first time on sunday and her teacher told me that she was the leader of the group, which surprised me. She got after all the kids for not singing. She is quite mothering to the other kids at church and school. To her cousins, I am sorry, she doesn't feel the same need to take care of them!
