Christmas fun

We were up in Ogden last week for a wedding and we passed a really cute park full of fun Christmas things and Jared told me they used to go there every year as a family! We called Jared's sister Sharidee and planned a night to go and it was so cute. They had a little snack hut where the lady gave the kids marshmallows to roast over a fire and we bought some hot chocolate and roasted chestnuts too. Santa was also there and our boys were insistent we wait in the freezing cold to see him.

Annie was being a pretty big cheeser for all the pictures.

Annie was not cheesing for this one!


Tanner was really excited. He did say that this isn't the real Santa. It was just one of Santa's many helpers.


Jackson loving the idea of getting whatever he wants just by asking this guy! (luckily all he asked for is a pillow pet!!)



Since Annie was born she's been the star of our family. I guess that's what happens whenever there's a baby around. It's been so much fun watching her grow and do a few new things on her own. She LOVES baths and I can't get her to stop drinking the water. Her new trick is to blow bubbles in the water. Every now and again she gets a mouthful of water too.
