Merry Merry Christmas

Andi asked Santa for a cradle and Grandpa and Grandma Doolittle helped Santa.  Dad made the cradle and Mom made the blanket and mattress. 

We missed Olivia but we got to talk to her a couple of time on Christmas Day.  It was a fun day of presents, food, and remember the true meaning for the season.  

 

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

 Jenn gave me and Jeremy an Early Christmas present and took us to see Chitty Chitty bang bang at the Hale Center Theater.  It was such a fun play.  And yes they had a flying car.  

Christmas Actvities

We went to the mall to get pictures with Santa.  Andi was so excited.  Santa was fun and funny and had all 3 kids laughing about Unicorn Sparkly farts.

 

We then went tot he Giving Machine.  Vickie and Earl for Christmas gave us money to go the Giving Machine.  We got to pick things to give to other people.   They picked things giving meals to veterans, school supplies, buying a goat for a family in another country. 

 

Then we drove to Bridal Veil falls to see the frozen falls.  We couldn't get out because the roads were closed but we got to see them as we drove by. It was really pretty.

Christmas Lights in Saratoga

 Saratoga Springs has an annual Christmas light display contest.  We drove around to see them.  I love looking at the lights.  Some of these houses went all out and others were more simple.  But they were all well done.   The best part was seeing the full moon over the lake and the reflection of the moon in the lake.  

I only took pictures of the first house we went to.

Forgotten Carols

 Jenn and I and one of her friends went to see the play the forgotten carols.  It was up in Muarry.  It was a good show and good way to celebrate the season.   

First Real Snow Storm

We got a ton of snow Tuesday night.  It was so deep and thick and the roads were dangerous.  For the first time in a long time, a snow day was called but it wasn't really a snow day it was "At home digital learning day"

So after we did all of school work,  This is how we decided to play in the snow! Hot tubbing!

Jeremy did a snow angel in the snow, then came and jumped right back into the hot tub. 

Andi wanted to make a snow angel too, but she decided not too after putting her feet into the snow.   The boys didn't want to come out.
