Christmas activities

We did lots of festive activities this December. We live so close to the mall so we went to see Santa at least once a week. Each time they had to tell him something different that they wanted Santa to bring them. They also got a See's candy carmel sucker so that made it even more enticing to go see Santa.
We attended both Reid and Clara's Christmas program(I am so sad, but I forgot my camera for Clara's program and she was so cute singing) Reid did a good job too. He sang some of the songs in French (Reid is in a french immersion program at school).

We went to the live nativity in Draper. It was such a neat experience except for the freezing 2 hour wait, but once we went through the streets of Bethlehem and came upon the nativity seen it was sooo worth it. My kids complained the whole 2 hours and then once they went through the main part they begged to wait another 2 hours so they could see it again. I would highly recommend it.
Here we are waiting in line. They did love the fires every ten feet. And the different scenes you got to see while in line.
We watched Santa fly in on a helicopter.

Alvin sees the helicopter. "Copter" He says. We also went to see the lights at Thanksgiving point along with Santa's live reindeer. And we went to the festival of trees. The kids loved it all.
