December Festivities

We have had quite the December already!  Still can't wait till Christmas though ;-)  We went to see the lights at Temple square while Todd, Catie, and Dave were in town.  It was COLD. we really had to bundle up!  After the lights we stopped at a McDonald's for some hot chocolate...fun times!  
All bundled up!


Ok so this is us at the temple lights.  left to right...Todd, Megan, Scarlett,  Catie, Seth,  Rachel,  Jared, Sarah, Preston, Dave, Davin and I are up front...in case you didn't know ;-)

So friends of ours Emily, Sam and their little baby  Becky took us to the festival of trees up in Salt Lake City.  So for the "Festival of Tree's" people decorate Christmas trees, ginger bread houses and other miscellaneous items to auction off and the proceeds go to the Primary Children's Hospital.  There were tons of  cool things!  
A motorcycle tree made out of tires!

We decided it was time to take Preston on the train at the mall since every-time he saw it at the mall he would freak out because he was so excited!  The train just drove around the mall.
Preston was so excited that he wouldn't smile for the camera...oh well lol

First time on the escalator...Preston didn't quite understand that you just need to stand there.  lol oh well , he enjoyed it!
Happy Early Christmas to me!  A portable dishwasher!. I guess i am officially a mom now that i like getting appliances as gifts. lol  ;-)  I love it! 
We went to the Speir Christmas party in Farr West, Utah.  He loved  being pushed around on the razer scooter...instead of building ginger bread houses.
Preston and Davin's second cousin Issac.  They were using the barbie house phone lol
Preston picking out his white elephant gift. 
Preston opening his gift.  So we felt bad because we got some pretty cool gifts compared to what we brought.  lol  We got the games quiddler, farkle, and a toy laptop for Preston.  ;-)
Davin won a dollar playing Bingo at the Christmas Party.

Took Preston to see Santa with Scarlett.
He was so excited!
He was too busy smiling to pound Santa's fist lol
Cousin photo!
Santa was telling them how good they are lol
at the toy store by santa...Preston had a good time pushing the go cart
Although he thought the bear had been on it long enough and it was his turn lol
He LOVED riding on the quarter horse...lol 
Riding double is double the fun!
Preston loves giving Scarlett hugs! My sweet boy!

I was cleaning for our Christmas Party when i heard Preston struggling i looked over and he had somehow fallen into a gray bin lol he also had gotten a hold of a computer cord...such a little stinker! 

Davin finally put my pictures on the wall!  I love it!

Our Christmas party!  We decorated cookies and had a white elephant gift exchange.  left to right...Sarah, Jared, Ali, and baby Harper. It was fun and i am glad we did it.  ;-)

Someone made a life sized model of Mater from CARS.  We had to stop and show Preston.  He was super excited to see Mater.

It was at a Christmas tree lot so he was towing a tree!

Preston kept pointing at him
