Christmas Festivities.

One of my favorite parts of Christmas is all the events leading up to the day! Here are some things we did to get in the spirit of Christmas...

Temple Square

Christmas in Color Lights

MoTab Choir

Meeting Santa at the Aquarium

And finally Christmas!
Christmas was sooo fun this year. The girls are finally at an age where they get the excitement of Christmas. We went up Tremonton for Christmas Eve. We had fun spending time with family and during the big Christmas Eve dinner and Nativity play. Unfortunately for us, Quincy tried to sneak some of grandma's delicious, full of gluten, rolls during dinner time and it cut our evening short. Dang you Celiac Disease! She ended up throwing up all over Austin while we were opening our Christmas PJS so we rushed home. Luckily we were able to catch her before she actually swallowed anything so her reaction wasn't as bad as usual. This means our Christmas morning wasn't ruined!
Santa definitely found out us and boy did we got spoiled! Some top presents this year were Quincy got a Paw Patrol Lookout tower and bike. Kennadi got a scooter and gymanstic mat/clothes. I got a carpet cleaner and Austin got some golf clubs.

October/November

A quick recap of some of our Fall Adventures...

Scarecrow Festival.
One of our favorite things to do during the fall is visit the scarecrow festival at Thanksgiving point. We love looking at all the creative things folks come up with. Here are some of our favorites....

Pumpkin Patch Field Trip.
Kennadi had a field trip the pumpkin patch so Quincy and I tagged along. Kennadi got to pick out a small pumpkin and she was very thorough picking it out. She went down every aisle a couple of times while pushing her small wheelbarrow to find the perfect one.

Cedar City Temple Openhouse.
We made a special trip down to Cedar City during the temple open house mainly so the girls can walk through it. Considering my parents live soo close and have a beautiful view of the temple out their windows, I wanted the girls to know what it looked like inside. The temple was beautiful, of course. Every time we drive by it now, the girls remember when we went through it.

Halloween.
This year we followed a Disney theme with our Halloween costumes. Kennadi opted to be Moana and Quincy was Cinderella. They loved getting all dressed up and trick or treating with their cousins. Our neighborhood is the perfect trick or treating neighborhood with the houses so close together so they both got a decent amount of candy. I got to stay home and hand out candy while snuggling with the newborn twins.

Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving was spent up in Logan at Darci and Britten's house. Baby Briggs was just born and so tiny! I had to work Thanksgiving morning and again on Black Friday so I just made a quick trip up just for dinner. Austin and the girls stayed in Tremonton for the weekend so I had the house to myself for a few days which meant -- lots of Christmas shopping!!
