Well I am just going to have to do a general post for the Christmas season. We had another amazing Christmas filled with a lot of memories that I will treasure forever! This year Korbin finally started realizing about Santa and presents, and he loved all the Christmas lights. He made my Christmas a million times better just seeing that twinkle in his eyes! Every time we saw any type of Christmas lights he would say "Mom!! More Cwistmus lights!" I loved it and caught myself smiling when I saw Christmas lights when he wasn't around.
Our season started with a lot of Christmas lights, shopping, and family. We had the chance to go look at lights with Steven's sister Leslee and her little family. It was fun and Korbin loved it but it was really bad weather.. cold and rainy! So we quickly saw Santa and a few lights and went back home. Korbin was still deathly afraid of Santa and wanted nothing to do with him but getting that candy cane.. and he did manage to say "thank you" after his screaming was over.
We also spent a night at my parents "Condo" right by the SLC Temple. We do this every year and I love it every year. This year wasn't any different. We ate at the delicious Spaghetti Factory, saw Santa again (Korb still afraid!) and then went back to the condo for snacks and games. We usually see the lights but we were all too exhausted.
We spent a lot of time with my family and Steven's family and I think that is my favorite part of the season! I attempted my first holiday baking with Leslee for our neighbors and friends which turned out so so.. some things were delicious, others not so! But it was a good starting point and I think next year we will be experts! But I did have numerous compliments on the treats.
We built a snowman outside and had fun playing in the snow. And of course you cant forget actual Christmas! Korb loved opening every present and did so much better then I imagined! We were extremely spoiled not only with the time spent with the family but with all the gifts we were given.

Aubree was completely entertained by Santa's beard and bells.

I made the kiddos PJ's this year and I was extremely satisfied with the ending result. Korb's shirt has a tie on it.
Opening presents! Grandma Sylvia came over as well. That was cool.
Aubree did better then I expected, she actually opened presents.. of course she ate the wrapping paper after!

It's fun reading what you guys have been up to. You are way more up to date than I am :)
I love Korbin crying at Santa. Isn't that so funny how they will be all excited and then scared to death when they are actually seeing Santa. You should have taken a picture of Steven with the awesome quilt you made. Good for you for making your kids pjs. I have done that in some years past but it just wasn't happening this year.
