Christmas is Coming!

A tradition we have is to make Gingerbread houses with the Grondel's.

Look at all those Yummy treats!

McKay couldn't help it.  It took a few bites a long the way.

He concentrated so hard.

Finished product.

His was such a masterpiece he had to help Aunt Kristen as well.

The creative minds are hard at work.

I love Christmas lights!  I could look at them forever.  We were able to go to Temple Square and look at all the lights.  This orange tree was Dave's favorite.  It was pretty sweet.  McKay liked the lights but he seemed to be more interested in the water.  He had to stop and look at every water feature along the way.

The Festivities

Every year the Saturday after Thanksgiving Dave and I go with my parents to find a Christmas Tree in the mountains.  This year we were able to get a taller tree than normal.  Every year I have a hard time finding "the perfect" tree.  This year so no exception.  It is almost like I expect a light to be shining on the tree and just know that is the one.  Unfortunately that is not how it happens,  but we get a perfect tree every year anyway. 

The seacrh for the tree is always fun.  This year Mckay walked around in the snow with us.  It went up to his waist in someplaces but he kept treking.

Daddy burried McKay in the snow.  Then he showed him how to slide down the hill.

We finally found it!!!

McKay laid down in the snow and said "I'm tired mom, carry me." He did really well and made it clear 'til the end.

After tree "hunting"  McKay got to ride a pony.  He wanted to ride with no hands.  He is too brave sometimes.
