Went to see Santa in the mall. Hayden loved him, Rebecca loved him from afar, and Sydney hated him.
Went to see Santa on the Santa Train in Boulder City. We didn't realize how fast tickets went, but lucky for us some lady gave us 2 tickets in the parking lot, and some friends from our ward happened to be there the same time as us and they were SO NICE and let us use one of their tickets. So I went with the kids and Jerry hung out with James from our ward.Hayden loved Santa, Rebecca warmed up a little and would at least get a little closer, and once again, Sydney hated him!
The kids with their friend, Emma from church.
On Santa's Sleigh at the Train Station
We also got to see Santa at our Ward Christmas party. It was very fun. Once again Hayden loved him, and Rebecca warmed up even a little more. She let him hug her! Sydney wouldn't even get close!!The weekend before Christmas we also went to a "cousins" Christmas party with all of Jerry's "Ewell" cousins. Very fun.
Then the next day my brother and sister-in-law came to visit for the weekend. We had a lot of fun with them.

We made Gingerbread Houses
Exchanged Christmas Gifts
And we went to the Ethel M Chocolate Factory and saw the botanical garden all lit up. I have to admit even though this is my 9th Christmas in the desert, it was still a little odd first of all being without a coat, and also seeing the palm trees and cacti with all the lights strung on them. Very fun.And of course there was school Christmas parties, and LOTS of eating and Shopping leading up to the big day!
