Getting ready for Christmas.

November 27th we started putting up the Christmas decorations.  Ian and Ava were so excited.  Next year when we decorate at our house they are going to be so disappointed.  We don't have many decorations.  My parents pulled out everything.  It took nearly a week to get the house decorated.

 Can you see the kids??

 

 December 1st we went up near Mammoth Creek to cut down Christmas Trees.  We let Ian and Ava get one for their room.  Ava insisted on wearing this dress to go get trees. Nothing like a pink dress with snow boots.

 Jaxson and Ian...

 Ian and Ava with their tree...

 We even got Brisa out of the truck for a few minutes.

 My mom, Samantha, and Tate...

 Later that night we decorated my parent's Christmas tree.

 My dad always has to put on his icicles one strand at a time.

Santa Claus came to the Welcome Market on December 3rd.  Ava ran right up to him...

 Ian was a little more skeptical, it took some convincing before he would sit on Santa's lap.

 Santa also came to the Social Hall on December 8th, this time he brought Mrs. Claus.  We went up with Mindy, Jacob, Sarah, Emily, Ava, and Zachary.  Logan was too cool to go and so Ian stayed home with him.
