Last Monday the boys and I went to the Candlelight Christmas up at This is the Place with the Johansens. We had never done this before but I was pleasantly surprised by how much fun we had. Each building has a different activity going on. We rode the small train up and first stopped at the hotel where we got cookies and hot chocolate. We then went and picked up a little craft that the kids can put together. At Santa's workshop we put together some wooden trains...Mason really liked that! Camden liked the cute puppet show about Santa and his reindeer. They also had a live nativity where we saw the wisemen and shepherds who led us into the stable where baby Jesus was. We then took the train again and visited St. Nicholas and his reindeer. It was a fun evening.

Saturday was our ward Christmas breakfast. We ate some yummy food and enjoyed visiting with neighbors. Mason was anxious to sit on Santa's lap so he could tell him what he wants for Christmas. We told him Santa only brings one or two gifts to each boy and girl so he is asking for TWO remote control transformers...Hmmm, good luck Santa, I don't think those exist?!?! When Camden first saw Santa he said "ho ho ho"...it was cute! He liked Santa a whole lot more from afar rather than sitting on his lap. He wouldn't be bribed with any candy either!

When we were getting ready to leave, Camden decided to run away from me. He went to grab the edge of a table, missed and landed head first on the leg of the table. He instantly had a HUGE goose egg forming on his forehead. This picture was taken after 2o minutes of icing it! Poor Guy!
RING CHRISTMAS BELLS
Ben and I were able to go to the RING CHRISTMAS BELLS concert at the conference center. Our friends Celeste and Tyler had two extra tickets and we jumped at the offer to go with them. The concert was wonderful! Brian Stokes Mitchell was the guest singer and he was AWESOME! What a beautiful talent he has been given! Edward Herrmann was also present and he did an amazing job narrating. Some of the songs gave me chills they were so powerful! After the concert we braved the cold and went and got some hot chocolate and dessert at the Gateway. Above all this fun, it was just great hanging out with my hubby!
