It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas...

We are doing our annual advent calendar with the girls and began with some fun activities. First we went to the Festival of Trees with Adalyn's Joy School group. The kids loved seeing all the amazing trees and gingerbread houses and even got to visit Santa Clause.




























I attempted to get a picture of Adalyn and Quincy on Santa's lap at the same time, but Quincy ran away from him and refused to come anywhere near him. When it was finally time for us to leave (and walk in the opposite direction that Quincy ran) she finally came back to me but made sure to stay as far away from Santa as she could. She then saw Santa give Addie a candycane and really wanted one. I told her if she sat on Santa's lap he would give her a candy... she sat long enough to get the candy in her hands and then bolted again.






























Next we decided to go to the Zoo Lights. This was our first year going and it was such a cute set up. The girls loved that they could see lights and animals in one!































We then went to Christmas Village in Ogden with my parents, my brother Josh and his wife Kelsie. And it was yet another great activity.










































December has started off great and it has been fun seeing how excited the girls get over Christmas lights. In fact we can't drive anywhere without excited squeals coming from the backseat. Hope you all are enjoying December as much as we are!!
