Christmas fun part 1.

We are now home after a fun holiday vacation but with that comes the many posts that I didn't do before I left, and the many I have to do after such a great vacation. So without much to say here is our Christmas season.

We decided to take the kids to see the lights at the DC temple, and it was FREEZING!!! We were there maybe 30 minutes but we did it and the kids had a great time for the 5 minutes we had them out of their stoller:)

Here we are in the visitors center.

Did I mention it was freezing!! We were outside long enough to walk into the Visitors center so these were pictures on the move.

Our three little cuties all bundled. Did I mention it was FREEZING!!!!!!

Here we are with the Bahrs our friends who are crazy or brave enough to venture out with us and our little crazy, loud little ones. Thanks for a great night!!

Of course like everyone else we had fun Christmas parties. Here we are at the the ward Christmas party.

When they called all the primary kids up to sing for the party without any hesitation Barrick marched right up there and smiled the whole time. We didn't have the heart to tell him he wasn't quite old enough but we figured he was close enough.

What can we say Barrick is a ladies man.

Barrick with Santa.

We also went with some friends on a Santa train ride. It was very fun, they had a conductor come and take your ticket then Santa came and visited each kid on the train ride. Then at the end they had hot chocolate and cookies.

I thought Lilly would scream the second she saw Santa but she just sat and stared at him trying to figure him out.

Barrick was a little shy.

And Liam HATED it!!

Here we are with all of our friends who joined in on the fun!

And, last a picture of these cut kids waiting for the train to go.
