Christmas Time Fun

 My mom came to town last weekend, so we decided to head up to the Ogden Christmas Village.  The only problem was that it was pouring rain, which eventually turned to snow.  We decided to go anyway, and just bundled up really well and used all of our umbrellas. 

 They had this really cool train for the kids to ride, and with the not-so-great weather, the line was really short - my kind of line. 



 We had lots of fun with grandma, including decorating cookies and gingerbread houses. We even took her to see the Christmas Carol.  Of course the weekend was full of lots of fun games (grandma LOVES playing games). 


On another Christmas note, for a story I'm working on, we got to see this massive Christmas village one Farmington woman puts together every year.

 I don't usually take the girls with me to stories, but this was on the way home from dropping grandma off at the airport and the girls were fascinated with all of the different houses and accessories set up in the village.   The woman was so nice and let the girls help set things up too.   



We have been having so much fun this month that we haven't finished everything on our list of traditions.

We still need to go see the lights at Temple Square, make our gingerbread houses, make and deliver all of the neighbor treats, take the girls to get their gifts for each other, and finish making some of our Christmas gifts.  

No need to remind me that there are only a handful of days left until Christmas.  
I may be making my neighbor treats AFTER Christmas and perhaps temple square will be a New Year's visit instead.

Have a Wonderful Christmas My Friends.
