X-mAs FuN ! ! !

The Christmas season has been a lot of fun this year so far. Aspen is at such a fun age for all of the activities that go along with this time of year. We have been participating in a lot more of them than we normally do, just becuase it is so exciting to see how much she loves them! We went to Layton Park and saw the Christmas lights....they were sooo cute! Aspen just loved them. She ran around like a complete maniac going in all of the roped off areas, of course. It was family fun night, so they had Santa there and hot cocoa and cookies for the kids as well as a free hay ride around the park. My sister in law (Leslie) and her two kids (Micah and Atlee) went with us. We had a blast but it was very cold. Aspen absolutely adores her cousins. She follows Atlee around wherever she goes and wont let her out of her site. It is cute to watch her with other kids. Anyway, I hope everyone is having as much fun this holiday season as I am! Oh! I also have some pics of Aspen playing in the first big snow storm of the year, they are so cute! She woke up and was soooo excited. Before I even opened her blinds, I asked her, "Aspen guess what is happening outside?" She immediately jumped up and started saying over and over, "Snowing outside? Me, snowboots on!" Smart little cookie. I put on all of her snow gear and let her play until she was frozen, before she had even eaten any breakfast. :)

Aspen looks so cute all bundled up! She is surprisingly good about leaving on her hat and gloves!

So Aspen definatly did not like Santa at all. He held out a candy cane for her and she grabbed it out of his hand as fast as she could and burst into tears. She held onto her daddy with a death grip until Santa was no longer in her sight.

This is Aspen on the side of the roped off area that she is not supposed to be on.

These pictures didn't really turn out very good because of the lights in the background, but I still thought it was cute! Wasn't my husband such a trooper to go to this event with all us girls?
Aspen throwing snow up in the air! She was grinning from ear to ear the entire time she was playing in the snow.
So Aspen loves to play this game right now where she avoids the camera at all costs. She thought she was hiding behind the Christmas tree but I was able to get this one picture of her, the others are examples of what it is like to try and get your 2 year old to pose by the tree for Christmas card pictures. I seriously considered putting the one of her crying on our Christmas cards and saying Bah Humbug! Haha.

This is what she did when I told her to smile and say "Cheese!" Haha. Funniest picture ever.
