Long Christmas Post (but at least it's mostly pictures)

A quick run down of the Christmas holiday.

We Dallin to Christmas Village. It was an experience, that is for sure. First, he wanted to run in the snow, the only problem was that the snow was so packed down and it has been so cold that it was more like ice than snow. He fell quite a few times. Also, his hands froze because he wouldn't wear his gloves and his tongue was burned on hot chocolate (Mom's fault. Opps!). He got all sticky with marshmallow and insisted that we ride the little train that drove around 25th street. When we were done I think everyone was ready to go home!

This year I made sugar cookies with Dallin. He loved it! I thinned the frosting so that he could paint it on. The only down side was went he got a hold of the sprinklers while I was getting cookies out of the oven. He dumped with upside down and held them that way till I could get them from him. Quite a mess to sweep up, but totally worth it. He now asks all the time to make cookies.
What beautiful creations (they tasted much better than they looked)
Braegger family Christmas party is always on Christmas Eve. It's a fun one. And for once it wasn't snowing on Christmas Eve! It seems like the last few years we have been driving there in the snow.

I didn't get too many pictures of Dallin opening presents Christmas morning. He wasn't happy having the camera out for some reason.
He got playdough from Santa. He loves to play with it, but insists that Mom or Dad play with him.


He got a lot of fun toys this Christmas, but one of his favorites is a blow up cow. Go Figure.

Cute pictures!! It looks like you had a fun Christmas. Adam also got play-doh and he can't get enough of it. He loves it... but it is SO messy. Too bad we don't live closer and they could play together and give us a break :) I have to ask you... where did you get that adorable cow?
