Conner's Preschool put on a Christmas Music Program today that was super cute! A lot of the songs were ones I hadn't heard before. I loved watching Conner perform, but let's just say I don't think wants a future in performing! Haha! Here are just a couple of the songs they sang.
Skip to the second half if you want more entertainment! LOL!

A friend recommended we go to a place called the North Pole Village and I decided give it a try. Oh. My. Goodness. It was so much fun! We will go back next year for sure! It cost about $5/person to get it but was totally worth it! It was in a gym, but was set up like a little village. Each "house" had something different.
School: They learned about fossils. They got to dig in sand to find a little plastic dinosaur (which they got to keep) and make crayon rubbings of fossils.
Post Office: They got to write a letter to Santa, get a stamp and put it in the mail box.
Library: They got to pick out one book to take home (to keep).
Pet Store: They got to pick a stuffed animal to keep.
Animal Clinic: After picking out their stuffed animal, they got to take it to the animal clinic to get an "exam" and receive a birth certificate.
Fire Station: meet the firemen and pet real dogs.
Bakery: Frost cookies to eat
Elf Workshop: got their faces painted
Church: Somebody was reading a picture book of Jesus' birth, and then gave each child a hot wheels car.
Ice Fishing: Think carnival fishing
They also got to sit on Santa's Lap!
I'm sure there is more that I'm already forgetting!
We had so much fun! Next year I will get more/better pictures!

From time to time Caterpillar does an open house where the public get to come into their facility. It's a special occasion for us, because we aren't normally allowed to go into Daddy's work!
The city had a police SWAT truck there
There were tractors for the kids to sit in. Some how they knew right where the horn was...
I wonder if I could get one of these for my backyard. The kids might like it better than the play structure.
Of course the little cars that the employees drive around are pretty cool too!
There was a bounce house for the kids!
Brownies, cookies, popcorn, soda...yummy!
It was really fun to see where Daddy works. I won't be surprised if some day the kids talk about how dad eats really yummy food and plays on bounce houses every day when he goes to work!

Grandpa and Grandma Eggett came to town, so we decided to go to Chuck E Cheese with them. More adults makes it easier to keep up with the boys!

This morning Grandpa and Grandma Eggett took Conner and Isaac to the Natural Bridge Cavern's Ranch Zoo. It's a drive through zoo, so you spend most of your time in the car, petting animals through your open window. They do have a small petting zoo that you get out of your car for.
Grandpa and Grandma have a sun roof which makes this extra fun!
My sisters and I are all pregnant right now. Elise and I both found out the gender of our babies at the same time. I had the doctor put the gender in an envelope then had a friend fill a pinata with either pink or blue items. Here is our movie of the gender reveal!
I was STUNNED! I actually didn't believe it. I had to open the envelope to double check that it was correct!
Later in the day, Elise did her gender reveal with a cake! My favorite part was when Maia asked if we could switch babies!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
I made the boys some eggs so that if they were hungry they could eat them before we went downstairs to start doing Christmas.
Ammon and I love that my parents video taped the first 5-10 minutes of my childhood Christmas's so we've decided to do the same thing for our kids! I guess because we were video taping, we didn't get many pictures...

When Grandma and Grandpa come to town, we always get to play hard, read lots of books and make cookies!
Playing hard at the Zoo
Reading books!

We invited some friends and family over to celebrate New Years Eve with us! We normally celebrate around 9pm so that our kids aren't up too late. We love to ring in the new year with a balloon drop!
