A GRAND OLE' TIME

Once again we kicked our Christmas season off at the Grand America's Christmas celebration.  We love to go because it's the only time we have an excuse to go play with Dad at work.  Ava loves to go to Dad's work at the BIG white one.  This time of year Jake is extremely busy, so any time we have with him we take full advantage.  This event was the day after Thanksgiving, which Jake had to work, so we were definitely missing him.  They do such a great job with this party... I would highly recommend it to anyone...especially because the entire event is free to the public.

 Hot chocolate, scones, cinnamon roasted almonds... ALL FREE

  Mac was terrified of Santa and Ava was so happy to sit on Grandma Santa's lap... 

Pictures with Santa...FREE

 Mac's cheeseball smile...PRICELESS!!!!

 Decorating gingerbread cookies and writing letters to Santa...FREE

 My Boys... IRREPLACEABLE

 Fun times with Camern & Brynlie...NEVER ENDING

 Getting Ava's nails painted...pink of course...FREE

I'm not telling you all of this to brag, but just to let you know that they do this every year for free... So make sure you're here next year! It's lots of fun!  Oma, Papa, Cookie, Max, and Breck all came too.  I love this time of year.  Not only do we celebrate the birth of our Savior, but we celebrate all the joy this life has to offer, which is a life that was given through him.
