Christmas Festivities

My camera was M.I.A for over a month, but I still wanted to blog about some of my favorite family Christmas festivities even though it's long past.

My favorite Christmas Traditions..

1.BYU vs. Utah game. We are all die-hard Cougar fans. My dad has had season tickets for as long as I can remember. One of our favorite things to do is our BYU/Utah tailgate party. Good food, fun people, good game, and lots of blue! Rah rah rah rah rah!




2. Putting up the tree! I always anticipated putting up the tree growing up, it was always so exciting and loads of fun to help. When I turned into a teen I dreaded it, but now I love it again. haha She always does beautiful trees.


Mine and Kris's tree. I got home from work one day and Krista and my mom had put up our tree. Yay! Nice job guys I love it.


3. Progressive Dinner. My family gets together every other Sunday, for family dinner. Each year on the "Fisher Sunday" before Christmas, we have a Progressive dinner so we can see everyone's Christmas trees and decor. Each fam prepares an appetizer to snack on at their house and we end the night at someone's house with dessert. This year was extra special, we ended at Jed and Hollie's house to find they were preggers!! Congrats you guys, yay for babies. I wish I could just stay home and babysit all my lil' nieces and nephews. That'd be a hoot.

I left my camera at Brady's this night so I didn't get pics of anyone's tree's, but they all put up the most awesome trees.

It says "Baby number 3 July 2011". They just had the stocking up in the middle of their stockings waiting for one of us to notice. It took some serious hint dropping for mom and dad to catch on. When they finally did, my dad cried. haha love him.

RaNae, Nicole, Missy

Hollie and Melissa and me


Down time
Game on time

They loved Brady's train. I adore these lil' stinkers. Luke, Ashton & Tayson.


Dessert. Hollie went all out.



My lil' buddies. They love stealing my phone and writing random people. Sorry if you're a victim of this. haha!

Ashton & Luke love Grandpa to read them stories! They'll sit on his lap for an hour it's adorable.



4. Seeing Santa. Tayson got to see Santa their ward had a Traveling Santa helper that comes right to their house.



5. Candy making day with Grandma. My mom has always been able to make these delicious candies and cakes, so she wanted to show all of us how it's done. It's our newest tradition. We made turtles, pumpkin bread and fudge. It was just the older grand kids, Krista, me and Grandma (mom). We had such a fun time!




4. Christmas Eve party. We have our big family Christmas party on Christmas Eve. We start with an amazing mom-made dinner. Then we have we usually have each family share something with us. A story, a talent, a poem or whatever. Hollie brings bells it's great. Then we open presents. It tends get a bit chaotic with all the gifts and kids, but it's super fun.

Grandpa reading a story.

Some sing-a-long songs

Cute brats. jk Ryan and his family always write a hilarious poem about our progressive dinner events.



Tis the Season. I love my family and Christmas, so it makes for a great time of year!
