Christmas Traditions

Springs Preserve 
We love going to the Springs Preserve's Christmas Party.  The kids made a Christmas craft and decorated cookies, rode the "reindeer", played bingo (Seth, Danny and Aaron all won a round), Seth and Aaron got their faces painted (Aaron was feeling a little wild and got a tiara), sat with Santa, and played in the falling snow (foam that was sprayed from above).






Gift of Lights at the Speedway
We love this one because it's so good, and it's close and we get to stay in our warm car. Seth fell asleep before we got there. Sorry Seth. But Ruby thought it was great!


Candy Trains
We get together with the Deans every year and make candy trains. Seth and Ruby really got into the decorating this year.  And Danny and Aaron like to add a little violence to our scene. This year they staged a train wreck and some gummi bears that got run over.


Chocolate Factory Cactus Garden
The Ethel M Chocolate factory covers their cactus gardens in lights.  It's like Las Vegas's version of Temple Square.  It's so pretty and not super big so we don't have to get too freezing.  This year the Deans went with us and we all had so much fun with our buddies.  Then when we're all done looking at the lights we go in and buy a box of chocolates and each kids gets to pick their own flavors.
