Christmas Season

I know that I am totally behind on this blog but I wanted to update about our great Christmas season!! We pack many things in but had a great time with family and friends. We started off the season by getting the kids pictures taken with Santa and so they could put in their requests for Christmas! Connor was not very excited that I was handing him over to a strange man but we did get one good picture!

Sydney preformed in her first ballet recital! She did Awesome and a big thanks to Miss Brittney for her patience :)

Next was Sydney's Christmas preschool program. She memorized her part and loved singing all of the songs with her class.

We took a ride on the Polar Express to the North Pole to see Santa. The kids really had a good time.

Along with Ryan's family we went to see This is the Place state park. We had so much fun. The kids made crafts, we went to the school house and danced and enjoyed some good food!

We went on a carriage ride in Downtown Salt Lake to see all the lights at Temple Square. It was lightly snowing and so much fun. A tradition we look forward to each year!

We also hit up Zoo Lights. It was soooo cold but loved seeing all the lights in one place. It is something we will for sure try to do next year but maybe pick a little warmer night!


I didn't get any pictures but we also went to see the village on Historic 25th street in Ogden! We watch lots of Christmas shows and sang lots of Christmas carols and had a Wonderful Christmas season :)

Holly looks like you have had a lot of fun this past holiday season! Conner & Sydney are growing up so much! She is such a little beauty! And loved all the photos. Your Santa picture with the kids turned out wonderful and your Santa looked like a great Santa impostor. lol. Hope you have a wonderful New Year.

I want to know where you found that Santa! He looks awesome. The one we caught at Layton Hills really struggled. Super cute pics. Love Sydney's costume.
