So this year, I wanted to try to focus more on activities and building memories as a family as opposed to lots of gifts for Christmas. I'm not sure how well I did at less gifts, but we had tons of fun doing lots of different Christmas activities.
The first activity involved going to Color Me Mine. Cambry painted a small bowl and loved every minute of it.
Izzy painted a mug. She keeps asking when we can go back.
We went to the lights at Thansksgiving Point, it's hard to get any good pictures.
After we saw the lights, we went to see the Reindeer and get hot chocolate and do-nuts.
We went to the Nativity in Alpine. We went a few years ago, but haven't been back because it's usually so cold. But it was warm one night and we went. It is really cool-they have a live nativity scene, wisemen, merchants, camels, sheep, horses--everything you would expect during Christ's time. It's nice to be reminded of the true meaning of Christmas.

Izzy took a picture of us!
Highland City hosts some Christmas activities with crafts, the Grinch, and Santa. Cambry wanted nothing to do with the Grinch.
Santa and Mrs. Claus
Izzy loved doing the arts of crafts.
Cambry and her buddy Justin. They are so cute together and love playing with each other.
I think the favorite activity is the ginger bread house. Izzy was begging me for weeks before we finally did it. The first time we ever made one was with my friend's family, Jen, and since then it has become a tradition.
They might like it so much because of all the candy that is involved.
Daddy gets in on the action too!
When Cambry got bored, she put her glasses on and took off with her luggage.
We went on the North Pole Express train, which leaves from the Heber Railroad.
The girls loved being on a train-it was their first time on a train and I think it was my first time on a train too.
They had elves that came around and served hot chocolate and cookies. There was lots of singing and entertaining. It was a great experience and something that I think will become a tradition.
We sang, "The 12 days of Christmas" and Izzy was #1. She had a busy part.
And of course, Santa came on the train when we got to the North Pole.
Daddy and Izzy went shopping for Mom's Christmas presents and while they were at Nordstrom, Izzy got a makeover at the Mac counter.
Love this family of mine!!
Christmas is so much fun with these 2 cute girls! I love them so much!
We had a great Christmas season, spending time together as family.
