Here's a quick run down of our activities for the first week.

Days 3: 
Visit Zoo Lights at Hogle Zoo with Grandma & Grandpa Erickson

Days 4: 
Read Christmas stories and drink hot cocco

Day 5: 
Decorate gingerbread cookies with Melissa's family

Day 6: 
Watch a Christmas Movie

Day 7: 
Visit the Festival of Lights in Spanish Fork with the Curtis'







 This is the only picture we have for Day 2.  The boys weren't that interested in decorating the Christmas tree.  However, now only the top half of our tree is decorated because both of them can't resist taking the ornaments off.  

 Hogle Zoo was a lot of fun despite the freezing cold weather and lack of animal appearances.  If we get a good deal we'll go again. 







 Drinking hot cocco with peppermint marshmallows.  It's really yummy!

 Decorating gingerbread cookies on day 5.  Spencer was on a sugar high that night because he only ate the frosting and toppings.  
 Cooper frosting his cookie with his fingers.  He didn't see the knives on the table. 

 Reagan decorated a whole Christmas tree forest.  

 Oliver eating his first cookie.

 Sofie and her beautiful creation

 Oliver after looking at Aunt Melissa.  This is no joke!  He's really not sure of her most of the time.

 The Festival of Lights in Spanish Fork.  We don't have any pictures of us because we were in our car the whole time.  They had a ton of lights and music to go along.  We really enjoyed it!


I'll post more pictures of the second week soon
