On Monday night we did one of my favorite traditions. It is going to Christmas Village in Ogden. I don't think it is one of my favorites because I really like the little houses (I actually don't know that I looked in many of them) it is one of my favorites because I remember going as a kid. We didn't get to go to the big city "down below" very often. However, at Christmas Mom and Dad usually took us to Christmas Village. We have now started doing it with our kids.
This year we were a few people shy for the festivities. Becky wasn't feeling the greatest so she stayed home and waited for us all to get to her house. Brock was sick so he and Cody stayed home too. I was lucky enough to get to take Ty and Paige all by myself.
Grandpa and Grandma were there of course as well as Michael, Stacie, Abby, Rachel, Scott, Aubree and Sydney. The kids had such a great time running around looking in all the little houses. However, the best event of the night was, of course, sitting on Santa's lap. I have been amazed this year that Paige will actually sit on his lap. It is so unlike her, but we will take whatever we can get.
After Christmas Village we went to Becky and Scott's house for hot chocolate and pie. It was really fun except for the massive fit Ty threw right before leaving. Everyone else was just glad it wasn't their kid throwing a fit and I was wishing it was one of their kids throwing the fit.
I am adding some pictures of the memorable night.
Can you believe my Paige actually sat on Santa's lap without crying. Hopefully her nursery teachers don't read this. Maybe the key to nursery would be a candy cane.
