Seeing Santa and The Grand America Gingerbread House

Heading to SLC on the front runner. The boys were so excited!
 Chris and Eddie playing with their toys. Eddie loves to say Cheese.
 Matthew showing off his Bobcat shirt he won today and loving the train ride.
 Jeffrey and Connor playing go-fish.
 Julia reading...duh!
 Aunt Mindy and Uncle Steven playing go-fish and enjoying every second of it!
 Chris was shy at first but then warmed up to the big guy and finally told him what he wanted.
 Jeffrey was not telling Santa what he wanted to Santa was telling him what he was going to bring. I think I heard an alligator in his bathtub at some point...
 Matthew was nervous to tell Santa what he wanted and Santa quickly realized anything Sonic would be ok.
 And Eddie surprised me. We sat down and Eddie looked up at Santa and instantly just started talking to him. It was adorable!
At the Grand America they have windows you can go look through and in the middle of the hotel is a gingerbread house. The windows are very cute and at the end the kids all got cookies. It was a fun free activity. Thanks Cindy for the idea!

Gingerbread Houses/Rice Crispy Houses

We had a house full but it was great fun and very messy!
 Starting from the head on the left (Karen, Maddie, Emily, Izzy, Connor, Julia, Mindy, Grandma, Sophie and Christopher.
 Everyone working hard.
 Chris taking his job very seriously!
 Parker, Matthew and Jeffrey doing what they do best.
 Eddie and Sophie making a mess...I mean rice crispy house. Thanks for helping Soph!
 Jeffrey's masterpiece.
Matthew's fake grin and beautiful house!

Jeffrey

Jeffrey loves basketball and this was his last game. On this day they found out that they were getting to go to a Jazz game in January. I think Matt was more excited to go then Jeffrey but he was excited to get some alone time with Daddy!
