Christmas Festivities

Wow- it's been quite awhile since our last blog post.  Most of that is attributed to how busy we were with fun activities the month of December.  I was lucky enough to get all of my shopping & decorating done before Thanksgiving, so we were able to relax and enjoy all the fun family activities that our area has to offer. 

Below are pictures of a fun little Christmas village that Canyon Lake rec center puts on.  We went last year & it was a whole new experience this year chasing both of the boys around.  There are several little "stops"- including a post office (to mail a letter to Santa), a petting zoo (that had some cute little puppies), an "adoption stop" (where each child gets to pick out a stuffed animal to bring home, a cookie decorating room, a nativity room (where someone is explaining the Christmas story), a "library" (where you can pick out a book to bring home), face painting, a few games, & of course a visit with Santa.  It was a fun night, but Barrett & I were exhausted after chasing our two boys around to all the fun stops.  

Eating the icing is more fun than decorating the cookie:
Dancing with the snowman



exhausted after the fun night (you'll notice Max is holding a new "hippo" he chose at the adoption room, so now we have "old hippo" & "new hippo" that he sleeps with, along with baby woof woof)
