As usual, the holiday season passes far too quickly, I can't believe there is only a few weeks left till Christmas. Here are a few of our holiday highlights thus far...
 |
| Happy Thanksgiving from a very cute Pilgrim. |
 |
| Good food and good company... |
 |
| The woman folk working on a special project... |
 |
| What to do when there are six different varieties of pie to choose from and you just can't decide which kind to pick? Not a problem, just go right ahead and have a piece of each! (Says the nephew with the high metabolism and 0.3% body fat.) |
 |
| This was not a holiday happening, but definitely worth mentioning. Alex was "King for a Day" at Kindergarten. We made this poster to show the class all about Alex. (He likes Thomas, Cars, Sonic and Mario, soccer, school, marbles, the Steelers, tumbling, visiting Napa/San Francisco.) |
 |
| Alex and I went to the Festival of Trees. You would think that a five year old would soon tire of looking at literally hundreds of trees, but he really enjoys it, especially the trees with a train theme. There is also a fun kids section with activities. This bubble machine is of course the most popular. Alex is inside of a giant bubble. |
 |
| One of the highlights of the day was running into one of Alex's favorite cousins, Josef! |
 |
| Showing some Ute Pride! |
 |
| A beautiful tree and display dedicated to a former classmate of Steph's, and his companion who were hit and killed a year ago while serving in Texas. Trevor was supposed to have been home by that time, but loved being a missionary so much, he had extended his release date by a few weeks. I know he is still serving in an even bigger capacity right now. |
 |
| Steph, Alex and I went to Gardner Village and did an Elf Scavenger Hunt. Lots of fun displays all around the grounds, and by completing the scavenger hunt Alex got a yummy sugar cookie from the bakery. |
 |
| Steph getting a smooch from her favorite guy under the mistletoe! I hope we can fit in some more fun activities over the next few weeks. Alex is so excited and at such a fun age that it pushes me to make more of an effort to make the holiday season special for him. Alex's most used quote these days when he wants something is, "But Mom, Christmas is for giving." I think we have a bit more teaching to do about the true spirit of giving at Christmastime! |

Great job sharing all your fun activities. Looks like your family has gone the extra mile taking part in local fun.
Looks like fun! I love what Alex said about Christmas. :) Seems like he and Abram have a lot in common with their interest in cars, trains, and the like...
