Christmas Shenanigans

Here is a peek at some of the holiday fun we've been having!

SO excited to see Santa and tell him what he wanted for Christmas!

These kids crack me up! Laura may not have been too excited, but at least she didn't scream. :) As we were walking away from visiting Santa, Cayden stopped mid step and almost started crying. When I asked him what was wrong he told me that he had asked Santa for a Talking Thomas, but that Santa hadn't given it to him. Cute kid thought Santa was going to give it to him right then and there. We had to explain that he had to wait for Christmas to get what he had asked for from Santa.

We decorated a gingerbread train this year. You can totally tell that a 3-year-old decorated it. Not quite the picture perfect train I was anticipating.

This is what Laura does with the presents nearly every day.

And this is what the end result frequently looks like. Too bad I didn't get a picture of the present after it was mangled and before it was 'fixed' with duct tape. Who cares if it screams 'white trash'... it works! :)

We braved the rainy/slushy/snowy weather this past weekend and went to see the lights at Temple Square. Even though it was pretty cold and drippy we had a great time. As we drove around looking for a parking spot, Cayden was in the backseat squealing with excitement. He loved seeing the lights, but especially loved the temple.

 

Love this little family of mine!

All bundled up and snuggling with Daddy to stay warm... and laughing at something silly that Daddy was doing.
