CHRISTMAS TIME

Last night Gabe has his Spanish Immersion Christmas program at the University Mall. They sang ten christmas songs in Spanish. Gabe enjoyed it.



Yesterday was the first time this year Alicia and Gabe got in ALL their winter clothes and played in the snow. We have a lot more snow today so they'll have a ball.




This last Saturday we went to the Park and the kids saw Santa Clause. It was windy and was snowing so the kids got candy canes and took a picture with Santa and we rushed back to the truck. It was nice and fast and the kids got to see Santa.


Last week we went to Thanksgiving Point to see the reindeer. Sterling was determined we were going the because Tanner was going that night. Unfortunately they went earlier in the evening then we did. The kids had fun guessing which reindeer they were. They kept trying to touch their antlers. It was a neat experience.









Last Tuesday we made our chocolate Christmas trains, a tradition we started last year. Thanks Jamie for the cute idea. The kids love making them. The boys won't let me help them and Alicia let's me help her a little. They are each creative and also love eating them for many days after.









I loved how Sterling wrote his name with M&M's and broken pieces of a candy cane. He is so dang cute. It's kind of hard to see in the picture.

Wow, way to catch up on all your recent activities. I knew Alicia would look cute in that dang hat! They were all so proud of their trains. I know you worked hard to find JUST the right candies for them to create with.

How fun and what a busy week. I wish I knew about Santa but it was so cold anyway. They are so cute with their trains
