Snowflake Lane

We took our annual trip to Snowflake Lane this weekend. This time we had real snow, and not just the fake stuff. We started at JCPenney, we picked up a Buzz Lightyear ornament for Dallin. We get an ornament for the kids every year, and this year I wanted to pick out Disney themed ornaments because we took our trip to Disneyland this year. We also had to make a stop at the Lego store. Next, we went to dinner at Red Robin, just like we do every year. Then we ended the evening with the Snowflake Lane celebration.

Levi, Allie and Dallin posing on one of the drums.

Daddy and Dallin. BRRRR! It was so cold outside.

Jordan and Austin. Ignore the leaf in Jordan's mouth, he is a little wierd.

The view down the street with all of the lights.

One of the drummers. Allie was excited, because we were in the "front row" this year.

We had a great time, and it was so much fun to have real snow this year.

Getting our Christmas Tree

We always cut our Christmas tree down the Saturday after Thanksgiving. It's always fun seeing who finds just the right tree. Dallin and Steve found the tree this year. Later on, I asked Dallin who found the tree this year, he said "It was me and my buddy." He sure loves his Dad!


Here are the kids before our actual search for the tree. You can tell it is before the search, because they aren't tired yet and they are cooperating and letting me take their picture.


Here they are after we found the tree. I was trying to get a picture of everyone in front of "our tree." That didn't work! I think they are still tired from all those Disneyland pictures I made them pose for.

Here is another fabulous photo. It seems like every year the kids have to hug the tree. It looks like Jordan and Austin really are in love with the tree. Should I be worried?

Here we are back home, we addeed the lights to the tree. Dallin is putting the star on top. Our next Christmas event is heading to Snowflake Lane at Bellevue Square hopefully we will get some decent photos from that.
