We've done a few fun Christmas Activities during the past couple of weeks. Instead of making one huge post, I've made few smaller ones.

We went to Blickenstaff's and played with a few toys.

We went to Temple Square with our good friends, the Goldens.

Emma and Brooke had a great time running around and playing.

We went to the Living Nativity at the Provo Tabernacle. It was a short but sweet little presentation, and it was fun to see all of the animals afterwards.

We went to the festival of trees the first week of December. It was our first time going, and we will definitely go again. It was impressive to see how much money was being raised for Primary Children's Hospital.

The trees were amazing.

So were the gingerbread houses.

Emma got to do some fun activities. She made a couple of ornaments, got her fingernails painted, and talked to an elf on the phone!

Thomas was excited too :)

He was a good little helper to his sister :)

FINISHED!!

Next came putting the lights up outside...DON'T ASK!!!

I think every night our Nativity is arranged differently. hmmm..who could be rearranging it?

Emma keeps putting "presents" under the tree. It's so fun to have children to celebrate Christmas with, they just make it even more magical!

Emma loves singing her favorite songs, especially to her little brother. While Thomas was napping, she and I were talking and I was asking her what some of her favorite things were, including her favorite songs to sing. She also loves watching herself while being video taped with the screens flipped to face her. Sorry for cutting her mouth off in the video since I couldn't see where I was aiming. :)

We took our annual trip to the beautiful Seattle to visit my family as well as my dear mission friends (which reminds me, I need some pics from our fun and dandy day).
We love beautiful Seattle, believe it or not it snowed the day we left which made it fun and exciting to drive in to say the least.
Thanks Phairs' for the wonderful time. We love you!

We went to the amazing butterfly house at the childrens museum in Seattle. We went last year but both our video camera and still camera battery were dead. So sad. So we made sure they were fully charged this time.

Thomas had fun trying to touch them

How amazing is this? Getting up close and personally with them. Even though you couldn't touch them, you could get SO close and observe. Emma loved it.

Lucky me, one landed on me.

My niece Ava finding her favorites

We went to a bouncy place near Issaquah. We went with my niece Ava and sister in law Jen. Ava and Emma had fun together.

Emma catching the bubbles

Emma didn't want to leave

My nieces and nephews loved Thomas. Here's Ava holding and feeding him.

We had ourselves a fun night of "Just Dance" on the Wii. We rocked the house.

Emma's cousin Maisy put makeup on Emma. Emma was in heaven.

I love this picture of all of them.
