Christmas Christmas Christmas what more can we say.

We started this year off with the 24 Days of Christmas books.  We opened a new Christmas book every night of the season. We loved the books that had the songs play while you read them.

Making Santa's cookies was another highlight except the fact we made way to many.  I called my mom for the recipe she gave it to me over the phone and then told me it was on her blog.  So I started out by using the one she had given me over the phone and thought 3 cubes of butter sounded like a ton and asked my sister don't you think that's a lot of butter and she said no. So I continued making the dough. Then I need to look at how long to the dough needed to sit in the refrigerator before rolling out and cutting cookies when I realized we had actually tripled the recipe. Needless to say we did not run out of sugar cookies this year!

Christmas lights were harder to find this year it was as if not as many people wanted to display them.  We did go to temple square one night and enjoyed them there not to mention how cold it was.

Santa

I didn't realize how big of a Santa snob I have become.  I took H to see Santa this year and it was so hard to get him to talk to the man in the red suit. Even though I had to search extremely hard for a good looking, very kid friendly Santa. I finally found one! Doesn't he just look awesome!  Santa your the best!
