Christmas Fun in Utah

After Thanksgiving we all started to get into the Christmas spirit by having breakfast with Santa, taking Trax to see the temple lights and going to Gavin’s preschool Christmas party.

Breakfast With Santa

Probably more expensive than it’s worth but nonetheless Keely and Gavin had a great time.

Sugarplum Fairy

The Grinch (Gavin wouldn't even get close!)
The Gingerbread Man
And of course Mrs. Claus

Ben really didn’t know what was going on but he loved all the colors and lights and ran around like a chicken with his head cut off. Seriously, he couldn’t sit still for a second, this was the only pic we were able to get of him.

Little Ayden wasn’t impressed with the food or the lights.

Trax to the Temple

We decided that the kids would like to take a “train” to see the temple lights. I think the novelty of the train wore off quickly though and we’ll probably take a car next time. It was fun to do it once though. : )The lights. Well, lots of waiting around for we didn’t know what. Was there going to be some kind of show? Would all the lights come on at once? I have to be honest, I’m still a little confused at what we were waiting for but the one thing that no one can deny is that the temple is truly breathtaking when all lit up.Gavin’s Christmas Party

Gavin’s preschool sure knows how to throw a party. The problem, when Keely’s not in a party mood she makes sure that no one else is either! Really, Ben did appreciate the food and Keely ended up being pleased with some “reindeer food” that Gavin made for her at one of the craft centers. This is the closest Ben got to Santa all year. He does look a little scary though, doesn’t he?
