Enjoying the Holidays!

O how I miss the days of family Christmas parties, where Santa would come and you get to play all kinds of cheesey games. Since we live far away from family the only way my kinds see Santa is if we take them. So last weekend we went out to the Bass Pro Shop. We wrote a letter to Santa and the kids put it in the mail box. They sat on Santa's lap but weren't too excited about it. I think they liked sitting on the 4wheelers better. This weekend we went to Winterfest in downtown Henderson. My kids love it because there's a parade and they get a pony ride. This year was really windy so we didn't stay too long, but it was still fun. And the last picture is Ben showing off his train he made at joyschool. He's been having an even better time picking the candy off it and eating it. We also had our ward Christmas party this week. It wasn't quite like the parties I remember growing up, but its nice when you know or at least recognize most of the people there. We really love our ward and have made some wonderful friends!!
