We've started out the Christmas season with a lot of fun. While it has been hard to get in the mood this year, spending time together as a family helps. The day after Thanksgiving we participated in the annual Preston's Kids Day Parade. We had cousins and preschoolers dress up like Rudolph and pull Mrs. Smith in her sleigh. It was cute and tons of fun! Even though our red noses kept blowing down the street,we won "Most Creative" and each got a certificate for a free pizza. Then we headed to Salt Lake for the Festival of Trees. There were hundreds of cool decorated trees, a gingerbread village, activities for the kids, and Ridge even sat on Santa's lap!
This year we took the 4 wheeler up in the mountains and cut down our own tree. The kids rode behind us in a big sled and had fun shaking the snow off the trees to see if they were good. They are also old enough to decorate it now. All I had to do was put the lights on and they took care of the rest. We are trying to concentrate on positive thoughts this season and just thank our Father in Heaven for all of the blessings He sends us each day.
