It's beginning to look a lot like "The Holidays!"

It really is beginning to look a lot like the HOLIDAYS!! Two more weeks and it will pretty much be over with! But for the time being.....this week was a fun one to set the mood.

We "painted" or frosted some sugar cookies! They actually tasted MUCH better than they looked. Thanks Dr. Isaacson for all the goods! The boys had a BLAST!

Tate frosted with multi colors! He did such a great job too!!
Davin is about ready to DIG in! YUM!
Smiles all around, we finished "painting!"
Santa made a trip to our ward party this year!!! He had to hold tight to his beard the whole time...haa haa. He sure made the boys day though! Well....not as much for Davin, he was a bit scared. Dad sure helped in that matter though! Santa didn't get too smooshed! ;)
Tate was in HEAVEN though! He was sooooo ready to tell Santa that he has been a good boy (sure!) and tell him that he wanted a "robot that spits disks out of his mouth!" Well......we will just have to see if he has been that good this year! ;)

All smiles!
That evening we had anther great Christmas party! ThermoFisher Scientific to be exact! What a great time of year for Aaron to start a new job! Haa haa

It was super duper fun too! It was at the CASTLE in Hyde Park.
Walking in we enjoyed this little 'Ice sculpture' number!
Hottie Ana poses in front to make it look just that much better!
We enjoyed a fancy and delish meal! Prizes were given out all evening...and Aaron's little brother won this XBOX!! YAY for him!
There was gift cards under some peoples chairs....they got one of those too! LUCKY!
Ohhh, and these guys did too!!! LUCKY!!
Our hands were still empty!! pooo whoo whoooo......
Until it was time to hit the dance floor baby!!!
We shook our stuff and won tickets to enter more drawings! We got lots and lots of tickets! Aaron even got beads around his neck...which meant FINALLY all of our hard work paid off and we got a PRIZE!! Hip Hip Hooray!!

All sweaty...but oh sooo worth it!!
We didn't win a XBOX or lots of GIFT CARDS like our other pals (you know who you are)...but we did in fact win and bring home a few things like this....

(We were pretty proud and happy with our loot!)
What a great time it was to dance around and hang with the hubs for a sweet date night. Everyone and their dog in CV was there it seemed. We had such a great time seeing lots of old faces we hadn't seen in ages. This new job thing might be a better thing after all. Ha Ha!

Leaving for the evening....I was excited to yell "I went inside a CASTLE!!!" yeah, yeah....I am a dork!
In other news....Tate has been so proud of his GINGERBREAD HOUSE! He decorated it all by himself.....
....and ate most of it all by himself too! One night sweet cousin Alysse came to hang with us and she helped Tate take a lick! Gotta love Cousin Alysse!! We love having her up at USU!
Lick Lick YUM YUM!
More FUN holiday adventures still in store soon......stay tuned!
