Tis the Season...

for ugly Christmas sweaters...

 

for peppermint sticks...

for decking the halls...

and festive treats...

We picked over 50 lbs of pecans from our yard and made the yummiest pecan brittle.  We packaged it up along with the peppermint dipped oreos and gave it to friends for Christmas this year. 
With so many pecans on our hands, our friends should all be looking forward to some pecan pie, candied pecans, pecan brittle, pecan cookies, pecan crusted salmon,spiced pecans etc. from the Ben and Brit home!

for admiring the Christmas lights...

We bundled up and took the cub scouts downtown to enjoy the Christmas lights and some yummy hot chocolate.  It was a fun and festive outing for everyone. 

for getting crafty...  

After painting a few tree branches white and adding some glitter we placed them in a large vase in our living room and hung our Christmas cards for display. Now we and all our visitors get to admire the creative cards of our friends and fam.

This Christmas card takes the cake. Lee & Syd had each family take an ugly Christmas sweater picture.  The result: the inner nerdiness of the Snarr fam on display for everyone to see. Haha!

and of course...

Tis the Season for remembering our Savior's birth.

The world seems to be taking Christ out of Christmas by commercializing this Holiday.  It is easy to get caught up in all the shopping, decorating, money, parties and treats and forget CHRIST.  This year Ben and I asked ourselves this question: "What can we give for Christ this Christmas?"  We are finding simple ways to give this year but the gift we are most excited to give is to do Temple work for our ancestors. We will have a Merry Christmas knowing that the gospel of Jesus Christ is being spread and our family is united eternally. 

We hope you have a Merry Christmas too.
