December

December is so magical and there are so many things to do and see and feel and experience.
We went to Eckert's farm and picked our own Christmas tree. It was so so cold that night and Callen is actually quite a big baby when it comes to cold so he chose to sit in the stroller most of the time but really the night was so much fun. We drove in a shuttle out to the Christmas trees. Everyone was very bundled and excited. Cooper was so cute and fluffy in all his snow gear.

We looked around for a while and found the perfect tree. Callen did get out of the stroller to help Brian cut the tree and was convinced that next year he will be old enough to cut it down by himself.

Of course, He wouldn't get out for a picture though

Addie is always up for a picture especially when she gets to help Cooper

We finished off our Christmas tree adventure by being serenaded by Addie while we waited for our Shuttle. It was such a fun experience and might become a tradition. We will see. A fake tree is still very very convenient but the memories are worth it.




We went to Brian's parents house this year for the whole Gingerbread house thing because last year was pretty funny watching the perfectionist Brian try his hardest to have fun with the kids while not letting them do anything to the house to prevent it from being sloppy. Anyway, now that i have said that, we had a great time doing a gingerbread man before we headed out to a school activity and Brian's Parents ward Christmas party




We got to go to Austin's school and do a lot of fun crafts, have cookies and see Santa who brought books for the kids. It was a really fun night

Also, one of our Favorite things in December is when Uncle Dan comes to visit for his Work Christmas party. Every year he comes to town and takes us out to dinner and we have tried some pretty fun places with him. This year tried a hole-in-the-wall restaurant called Iron Barley that was on the Food Network because of it's Monte Cristo Dog. It was surprisingly good.
Then we went to Tangled and had a great time. Called would randomly yell things like "YES!!!" with a fist pump and almost jump off his chair and he was keeping us laughing. They really loved the movie and they REALLY love Uncle Dan.
More December to come...
