First we got all dressed up in our best Christmas dresses so we would look the part for our activities!
Then we stood in a long line, but it was worth it cuz we got to see Santa and it was great! Dean got his 1st Christmas present from Santa... a little red bell from Santa's sleigh with gold string on it for the tree. The kids could not have been happier!
After a very healthy lunch at the mall (just french fries)
We went to The Princess and the Frog!
It was so good! Even Dean enjoyed the music and sat in his car seat the whole time shaking his feet! For those of you who have not seen it FYI the fireflies are my absolute favorite!
In the lobby they had these big chipmunks to advertise the squeakual! BTW Dean loves the 1st one he sits in his jump-a-roo and fully belly laughs when we watch it..jumping so hard he almost launches himself right out of it.
There was a preview for it and he was laughing in the theater..there was an old couple next to us who just loved watching him watch the preview!
I took lots of pictures but this is my FAV!
After a roast dinner (I thought that was fitting with the days activities) we put together an awesome foam gingerbread house while watching the premier of Santa Baby 2 on the family channel. We have ornaments to make too but we'll save those for another day!
The finished product! Pretty darn cool if you ask me I've got some talented girls!
The biggest problem with shoving it all into one day is the kids did not go to bed til 1030pm and it was hard getting Shea up for school and Ava was a cranky pants all day...but I still think it was worth it.
Hope you all have tons of fun this Christmas season too!
It is currently 6 degrees outside (2pm in the afternoon) on Sunday we got 9 inches of snow, they are predicting another 4 inches tonight. Last night the temp outside (while feeding the dogs) was 1 degree yes that reads right 1 degree!
The first picture is of our new house...and I guess for Colorado it's beginning to look alot like Christmas. I'm very proud of myself cuz I'm the one who climbed on the roof and hung lights (picture to come) this year.
