December

 Our annual girls trip to the temple to see the Nutcracker

 And of course we went to Fentons!

Instead of a gingerbread house we made a cookie tree this year.  It was fun.  

Rachael performed in the Nutcracker this year as a Matador!  

 She's the one at the front of the line on the left. 

The costume 

Some of the third grade classes had an event called  "Poetry and Pie." Rachael memorized a poem called "Helping." 

We visited Widmer World in Pleasanton.  We were surprised at how many things they had at one home.  We will definitely go back.

The weekend after Christmas we went to the Sacramento temple for Michael Arntz's wedding. 

And we found some snow outside the reception! 

We took our annual trip to the beach, too.  We checked the tides and decided to go to Fitzgerald Marine Reserve to see the tidal pools.  

It was amazing!
