Santa Claus is Coming to Town!

Avery loves Santa Claus. As I mentioned in my last post anytime she sees Santa she tells him that she wants "Baby Sara". Well, the last couple of days she has been patting her legs and saying, "Santa lap". So on Wednesday we took her over to the University Mall to see Santa. I was so surprised because there was no line, we walked right up to him. Of course as soon as we got up to him Avery got nervous and just wanted to stand by me.



We talked with Santa for a minute and Avery warmed up to him a little bit. She wouldn't sit on his lap, but she did tell him that she wants baby Sara and that she has been a good girl. It was really cute. Santa let me sit next to him with Avery on my lap for a picture and then he gave her a succer. She had so much fun, she has not stopped talking about it!

Thanksgiving!

We had Thanksgiving dinner at my mom's house this year. We went over early to help with the preparations. When we go there my family was busy decorating their Christmas Tree. Avery loves anything that has to do with Christmas so of course she wanted to help! She sat down and started pulling out all of the decorations she could find. Then her Uncle Tyler helped her put them on the tree. She had a blast!


My mom has a train that she puts around her Christmas tree in her living room every year. The train has Santa on it and he waves as he goes round and round. Avery found this very amusing she would stand there and watch Santa go around. Each time he would pass by her she would bend down and tell Santa, "I want baby Sara!" (All babies to her are "Baby Sara", so she was telling him that she wants a baby for Christmas!) Every time she sees Santa she tells him what she wants for Christmas, it is so cute! I just hope that when we actually take her to see him that she will sit on his lap and tell him. We'll see.


After eating dinner we went to the ampitheater by the Mount Timpanogos Temple and Skyler took family pictures for my mom for Christmas cards, They turned out really cute! (I will post them later). Skyler is a great photographer, he definitely has the eye for it. If you want to check out some of the pictures that he has taken for people in the past you can go to CallStudios.us.



On Friday we went to Temple Square to see the lights. It is a tradition every year we go for my birthday. Avery loved it! We decided to take Trax up there so we didn't have to mess with parking. Avery sat on the sidewalk by the tracks and watched for the train, it was so cute! We went to California Pizza Kitchen for dinner, my favorite. After that we headed over to Temple Square. Avery would point at the lights and say, "Christmas lights, Christmas lights!" She can say it so clearly it is adorable! We had a great Thanksgiving break!
