Gingerbread houses and writing Sanra Clause

One of our really close friends Liz Myer who is in our ward has a mailbox that Santa gave her to get the kid's letters to him faster to the North Pole and it is a magic mailbox and so we went and mailed our letter to Santa and Paysen got a letter back in the mail from him :) We also went for a beautiful drive in the snow up mount Emily and then came back and got Cassidee and Cole to decorate a Gingerbread house with us and had Pizza, Then all of us went to the live Nativity here and Paysen loved the camel! It was such a good day.

 Writing our letter to Santa

Paysen kissing his letter before putting it in the envelope

 His letter and envelope

 He helped write it the whole time :)

Our drive up mount Emily. It was so breathtaking up there and fun to be in such deep snow. We really had a fun family date 

 Alex and I on our drive and Mr Pays slept the whole time

 Cassidee and I doing the work why the boys eat pizza haha jk

 Pizza from New York Ritchies one of our favorite places 

The Live Nativity

 

 One of the local churches put it on each year and they have all the animals outside and everyone is dressed up like the time Jesus was born and guards guide you through, Then inside they have stores that you walk through and get stickers in your book. 

 Alex holding a mite.. Like the widows mite. 

 This is where you could exchange your money.

Then at the end they have a ton of goodies and hot chocolate and apple cider. Really fun. We went when it was freezing so we went inside pretty quick. Paysen had the best seat in the house haha.. him hanging out in his stroller.
