Christmas is in full swing at our house, and the kids are beside themselves with excitement. My middle child is by far the most excited. He only wants one thing for Christmas, but if he didn’t get it he might be totally bummed.

Ash and I FINISHED Christmas shopping last night for our kids. Yeah! We had a good time while grandma stayed home and watched the kids. It is such a relief to be done.

I tease Ash that he is “Bah Humbug” about Christmas, which really isn’t true he just hates all the fuss about presents and Santa and that stuff. So yesterday while shopping I found the cutest sign for him that says it perfectly.

Cute huh! Anyway because we don’t like to get wrapped up in the what are we getting for Christmas nonsense we have always tried really hard to make the giving part the fun part. We spend a lot of time doing fun Christmas activities like making Gingerbread houses with grandma, and visiting the lights at Temple Square. This year we decided to try the Polar Express up in Heber. It was a lot of fun. The kids really liked it, even our 12 year old. The price was a little steep, but I think it was worth it. Oh and did I mention that Dallin H. Oakes just happened to be on the train to.

Hope everyone is having a great holiday season. Merry Christmas!
