We have been doing so many Christmas things I feel like candy canes and frosted sugar cookies are oozing from my pores. Yes oozing. I have no one to blame but myself. I asked for this. I have been to three Christmas parties (all with white elephant gifts) and last weekend we went to
this Christmas festival. We brought along my grandparents and aunt as an early Christmas present. There we took a train around "Christmas Village" and stopped at the little houses to do things like watch a Christmas puppet show, write letters to Santa, sing carols, make crafts, hear Christmas stories, and of course see Santa. It was all in typical cheesy Utah fashion, but Micaela loved it and I think Caleb and I enjoyed it a little too.

Did I mention it was like 20 degrees outside. So freezing. Micaela could have cared less. She is the most un-complaining kid I know when it comes to the cold.

One of the shops had all these vintage toys which Micaela loved. Caleb bought her one of course, as it would be impossible for him to leave the house without getting her something.


Micala's new best friend is Santa. She loves him. She looks at the crying kids like they are crazy. After all what little kid wouldn't sit on Santa's lap for a candy cane? The difficult part was getting her off his lap.

Don't worry, in a few days Christmas will be over and I'm sure I will find something else to post about!
