Now I'll bet most of you don't know, but Helper is officially 'Utah's Christmas Town', officially. They really do have a lot of Christmas festivities (click here to find out more). This morning, we went to 'Breakfast with Santa'. Uncle Jared, Aunt Jenny, Jadon, Jacob, and Uncle Russell, Aunt Stephy, Emma, and Gauge were all there with us. The city council puts on a super yummy breakfast for the family, and then the kids can sit on Santa's lap.
This was Neeley's first year sitting on Santa's lap, and I think it went OK. You could tell she was petrified, and she wouldn't talk to Santa, but she didn't cry. So I guess we'll call that a success. She was a lot more relaxed when Santa was holding Brylen, too, and I think it helped that she watched her cousins Jadon and Jacob go first. My girls are so lucky so have cousins here!
Tonight is the second night of the 'Light Parade'. We are lucky enough to have friends that live right on Helper Main Street, so we are going to their house to watch the parade. (That way we can keep Brylen warm inside.) AND, there will be fireworks after the parade. What a fun way to kick off the holiday season!!
6 pennies for your thoughts:
What festive fun! I LOVE the picture of both girls on Santa's lap (all the pics are darling). I wish I was there for the light parade & fireworks. :)
Light parade and fireworks? No fair. What a fun day! The girls look so adorable with Santa. And I can't believe that brave little Neeley didn't cry. Jase wouldn't have anything to do with Old Saint Nick!
Neeley is one brave little fart...Jase wouldn't get closer than 10 feet to Santa. There was no way I was getting them in the same picture. There isn't a lens big enough. But those Helper festivities sound awesome. I almost want to move to Helper just to enjoy them....almost....
What great fun Christmas festivity! The girls will get big enough to really look forward to these fun times! They look so cute with Santa! and fun for mommy and daddy to watch! Just can't see why you can't get enough of them! So adorable!
That was fun. We will have to make it a tradition.
