Pre Christmas Fun

Since we weren't spending Christmas in Utah this year I went a couple weeks before to spend time with our families.  It's always a little stressful when Al drops me off at the curb with the stroller, suitcases, and kids.
Alex and Cole did pretty good on the way there.  They both wanted to look out the window and I'm sure this is only the beginning of brother wars :)
The week before we got there it snowed a ton and looked so pretty.  Al kept telling Al before we left that it was going to be cold at Grandma's house so we would say brrrr it's cold at Grandmas.
Our first night there we went to dinner at Shanghai and then went to see the window displays at Grand America.
The main attraction was this huge gingerbread house.  It had a info chart by it that told how much gingerbread, candy, hours and days were spent making it.  Alex kept telling me he wanted to go in the house :)
So many cute window displays and they loved them all.
It makes me cold looking at this picture, but look how beautiful all that snow is.  I wanted to make a snowman with him, but it was the worst packing snow ever, so that is on next years to do list.
We met Niki and her kids at the Thanksgiving Point Dinosaur Museum.  
Alex's favorite cousin is Briyler which is funny because he is 2 years older than him.  My favorite conversation of the day was when Briyler said "Alex that was awesome" and Alex said "ummmmm YAAA."  

My favorite part was the last room which is basically a huge sandbox where the kids can dig for bones.  Briyler and Kajsen turned it into a sand fight so that's when we decided to go get lunch.  
We met Kylee and Tonya at a Trampoline park which was so much fun.  They had a special kid area with a bunch of trampolines and foam pits.  
Another great play date we had was with some girls I was in Kappa with.  Sophie had the kids decorate cookies which Alex loved, color, and decorate trees.
