the seventh day of christmas

On the seventh day of Christmas we took the kids to Thanksgiving Point to see the lights. All I can say is that it was a hit and every parent should consider doing it. For one it is cheap (6 dollars a car). Secondly, it is warm ( 10 degree weather would never get my behind to the temple square lights that's for sure). Thirdly, there is a to die for bakery with cocoa floats, gingerbread cake, and oreo cookies the size of your hand...with peppermint frosting. Finally, santa's reindeer are waiting at the end to be pet making it the highlight of our kids Christmas season. All good times I would say:)

the fourth day of Christmas

On the fourth day of Christmas we decided to scare Cohen to death. We locked him in a room at the ward party with Santa, where "big Elmo" was, "scawee" and tried to get Cohen to sit on his lap. More tears this year then when Halle was two. Halle of course was thrilled to sit on Santa's lap. Still not sure what she asked for Christmas cause I was too busy reassuring Cohen that Santa was nice.

sixth day of christmas

On the sixth day of Christmas we dressed up in our Sunday best...

side note: it may appear that my kids love each other but this is not so. Right after this picture was taken there was a serious wrestling match and Halle now has a whole in her tongue (I am just glad I got a picture).
