Christmas 2012

 Every year we always go to temple square to see the lights.  It was City Creek's first Christmas this year and it was decorated beautifully as well.

We spent this Christmas up the canyon from Cedar City in a cabin in Duck Creek Village. It was awesome to have all my extended family there.

For Christmas this year our family's big gift was a trip to Disneyland.  The girls got puzzle pieces that they had to put together to figure out the gift.  

There was tons of snow but we still tried to play on the swing set outside the cabin.

The snow was so deep that Ava jumped off the swing and got stuck in snow up to her waist.

 These santa pictures are a little out of order. Every year Santa comes to the Hansen family party the Saturday before Christmas.  He gives presents to all the kids and the girls look forward to it every year.

We went to church in Afton, Utah the sunday before Christmas.  This sacrament set was on display in their building.  I thought it was pretty cool to see what the pioneers here used to use for the sacrament.

While at the cabin we really enjoyed doing lots of puzzles.  Luke and I helped work on this stamp puzzle for lots of hours and helped finish it.

The ice on the cabin went from the room to the the ground.  The kids thought it was awesome and would break off chunks of ice and use it as swords.

Driving home from the cabin was slow going because we were in a snowstorm.  I took these pictures as Luke drove.  It was one of the most beautiful drives I've ever been on.
