Christmas Is…
Gingerbread Cookies
Orchestra Concerts
Tamales
Sisters coming into town
Church Dances
I had to laugh when right before the dance, Stan came out in an old tux. He decided to dress up just to chauffeur the girls to the dance. :)
Cute Christmas Babies
(my nieces-Annie, Wren, Avery and Janetta)
Candy Fishes from Papa
Train Sets
Organ Stop Pizza
Late nights and tired little elves
Christmas dinners
When we pulled the turkey out of the oven, Parker mentioned that he’s always dreamt of being able to grab the drumstick of the turkey, tear it off, and eat it. We thought we’d make his dreams come true. :)

-Phelps Christmas Party
We started a fun tradition in the Phelps family this year. Rather than purchasing gifts for family members, we took the $ that we would normally spend and help those who might need it more. One of the places we donated to was the La Mesita Shelter in Mesa. We donated about 35 brand new coats. They were very appreciative and it was a good experience for the grandkids to help others.
And of course, Christmas Is…

Crissie,
Thank you for sharing the photos and the memories!!! Thanks for posting them when you are home sick. Get well soon.
WOW! You had a very busy Christmas! I love seeing all your traditions! Maybe I'll get my blog going again. As for now, it's fun looking at everyone else's. :)
I loved this posting - Christmas is so MANY things and you depicted it beautifully and made me reflect on those things I love most about Christmas: Our Savior, family, friends, the gospel, music, AND food! Thank you Crissie and Happy New Year!
Love the post Crissie! Well done:) LOVED Stan coming out in his tux! Even more impressive that he fit into it! That Stan. Love him:)
