December Fun

Sidney can be found by the tree a lot.  She thinks she is pretty funny when she gets an ornament off of the tree.  

Melissa, this picture reminds me of you.

Kinnie sat on Santa's lap at our church Christmas party.  I didn't even have to go up with her this year.  And Andrew watched from far far away.  We had even a better experience at the Children's museum with Santa a week later though that was so magical!  But they were charging $25 for a photo package and didn't allow cameras.  There was an elf named Holly who danced with the children, a Snow Queen who made it "snow" and Santa really came down a chimney.  His big black boots appeared first and then he fell to the ground and came out of the fireplace.  We talked with the Snow Queen and Santa called Kinnie and Andrew over by name.  Kinnie sat on his lap again and he talked to her for a few minutes.  Andrew just watched again (and has been pretending to be Santa at home ever since).  

We went to a neighborhood known for their amazing lights.  It was nothing like Temple Square but there were some pretty good ones.  This picture doesn't do these trees justice but you get the idea.
