It's the most wonderful time of the year

I love Christmas time!!! One of my favorite things about Christmas is traditions... one of my favorite traditions is looking at Christmas lights every night of the season. One of Rob's favorite traditions is eating sugar cookies (requiring him to make them.) So, of course being the wonderful parents that we are, we have forced these traditions onto our kids. So far they seem to enjoy them although that could change as they get older, for now we'll take advantage...

Briggs and Owen at the ward Christmas party sitting on Santa's lap. This was before the power went out. That might be the first and the last year they put Rob in charge of activities.

One of our favorite Christmas houses to visit. Could be southern folklore but they say this house was in USA Today as one of the best decorated houses in the country. It is unbelievable how many lights they have along with a real santa, and free popcorn, hot chocolate, and candy canes.

Owen LOVED the lights this year. It was fun to watch him get excited about them

Ali with dad, liking all the lights at the beginning. By the end I think she got a little too over stimulated.
