Festivities...

I was determined to do something "festive" each night the week before we left to Idaho. We had a lot of fun together. We got our tree, we went to Cherry street with friends and had hot chocolate. We went to see Santa land his helicopter! And we went to the annual boat parade at Granny & Pops house. We read Christmas stories each night around the Christmas tree.
It was a wonderful time together as a family. Merry Christmas! Girls in their Christmas dresses from Dama-Dama...
Payton and Santa--don't you dare ask for a puppy!
Sydney sitting on Santa's lap. His elves gave her a tea set!
Santa came by helicopter! The kids loved watching him circle closer and closer...it was very exciting. Avery didn't like the "windy" blowing everywhere, so she layed right on her dad's shoulder. When Santa got out of his helicopter and lifted his bag of gifts, it was so heavy, he fell over on the ground! What a funny Santa. The kids thought it was so great.
We got ourselves a "little tree" this year and the kids were big helpers picking it out and hanging all the decorations.
Sydney got to hang the star this year.
