Santa and Christmas lights!

Wednesday was our ward Christmas Party. Brevan was so excited to see Santa Claus! Last year, he cried and cried, so I didn't know what to expect this year! When Santa came on the stage, we all of a sudden lost Brevan in a rush of kids trying to get in line! We looked all over for him and couldn't see him or Sydney! I was talking to someone, when I looked on stage, and Brevan was standing right by the door patiently waiting his turn! He must of butted in line and made his way up there, because we were at the end of the line! But, we ended up finding Sydney coming back out of the line and wanting nothing to do with Santa! That was fine, we just let her look. Brevan went right up to him, sat on his lap, and proceeded with his list of things he wanted for Christmas (Big Lightning McQueen, Big teddy bear, and 2 puppy dogs-not real)! It was quite funny! We had a good time and I am glad he isn't afraid this year, because the other 2 kids are scared to death!
I don't know how many of you watch Good Things Utah, but my sister in laws watched it and told me about a light contest they were doing. I don't know how many of you have seen my parents house at Christmas, but I just knew we needed to enter them. The grand prize was a trip for 4 to Disneyland, plane tickets, hotel stay at a resort at the park, and hopper passes. Well, my mom, Taylor, and I decided to go up north today, so we left Brett with the responsibility of watching and seeing who won. Well, he called me at about 11 o'clock. I answered the phone and he said to me," guess who won!" I thought he was joking, so I just asked if it was my mom. He said yes! I really thought he was just kidding! But, he wasn't. My parents won the contest and the trip! So yeah! We are excited for them! My dad works hard putting up lights starting in October. He says that Christmas morning lasts for thirty minutes, but he gets to enjoy Christmas lights for 30 days! So here are some pics of their house for you all to enjoy! The pics do not do the house justice. I was trying to hurry so I could get the posted before the deadline!

My sister watches the show every day and she called me after they announced it and told me they won. I think he deserves it. I'm glad you entered it for them.

We brought our basketball team up to Richfield the week before Christmas and took a couple of the boys over to see the house. They were amazed. They'd never seen anything so festive. Hooray for Christmas cheer!
