Its Begining To Look A Lot Like Christmas-Sort-of

So we went to the Sydney temple to see the Christmas lights. It had been raining on and off all day. It was sprinkling while we were looking at the lights, but it looks like snow in the pictures! It made me laugh because of the memories at Temple Square all bundled up from the snow!
Our family in front of the temple!

R and Uncle Jim skipping around the lights!

R LOVES her "iim"

The next day we had our ward Christmas party! Yes, it was at the beach!! We had never been to this beach before, but loved it!This is R holding her best friends little sister Gabby! Doesn't she look cute as an elf!

This was the park we had dinner at! Yes the blue under the pavillion is the ocean! What a cool ward Christmas party!

Jared was asked to be Santa, but they didn't have a suit! So they gave Jared the bag of candy AKA Lollies and she told all the kids "Get him, he has the candy" So all the kids took off chasing Jared! It was SO funny!

Then all the kids lined up from youngest to oldest and got their lollies from Jared!

It really is FINALLY starting to feel a little like Christmas! It has been fun trying to go as frugal as possible! Can't wait to post more pictures!
