Santa at the library

The Springville library had a Santa come to the library and take pictures with the kids for free. On Saturday morning we went with the boys and grandma and grandpa to see Santa. The boys did awesome! Liam was fascinated with Santa and just wanted to pull on his beard. Daniel thought it was fun to sit on his lap and didn't want to talk but he was smiling. He just said yeah when Santa asked if he was ready for Christmas. It was great!

Festival of Lights

This year we are staying in Utah for Christmas. This means we get to do lots of new things but I also miss going to the festival of lights in James Island. So this year we looked around Utah for a fun alternative that was fun but also inexpensive. We found a little festival of lights in Spanish Fork. It was on a golf course and we couldn't get out but it was cute and fun to go see lights.

First Santa visit

We had our ward Christmas party at the beginning of December. We had a great time eating yummy food, talking to good friends and watching some very talented people perform for us :) The night ended with a visit from Santa. This was Liam's first time visiting Santa and he did great! Daniel was great too and was happy to sit on his lap. (They obviously didn't inherit the 'santa is scary' gene from me) Santa wasn't wearing his customary red pants and we couldn't get the boys to actually smile but I say no tears is a win!

Living Nativity

The second day of our advent calendar we planned to go visit a living nativity in Orem. It was a cold night but we bundled the boys up and it was really fun. The people doing the nativity looked so cold! They had hot apple cider though which helped. They had animals but Daniel's favorite part was the big fountain by the nativity with Christmas colored lights.

Never seen a camel this close before

This was a great way to start off our month of Christmas celebration!
