Tis' the Season
I am a little behind on my blogging this Holiday season. I am going to try and play catch up before Christmas.
We started out the celebrations on Saturday after Thanksgiving. We went down to see the lights on Temple Square.




We haven't been to see the lights since Andre turned 2.

The kids were excited to ride the train. They looked so cute all bundled up waiting for the train.
After we took the kids over to the Gateway to Build-A-Bear.


If you have never been, you should defiantly go. Our kids had a blast. Plus, they have tons of bears for $10.

After they stuff the bear they get to put a heart in their bear. Before they put it in they had them rub the heart on their head to make their bear smart. They rubbed it on there ears so their bears will be good listeners, on their elbows so they can be humerus. It was so funny.

After that, they had them make a wish before they put it in their bear.

Once they are all stitched up, they got to bath their bears and fluff them with air.

They got to pick out clothes and name their bears. Andre picked out a Batman suit and named him Bat dog. Kendyl got a Tinker Bell dress and her bear is named Tinker Bear. They also can go online and play games with their bears and play with other kids. It is really pretty cool.
I Just added this picture because I think it's funny. Her Aunt Shannon taught her how to do the "rock on" symbol, but hers is more like the I love you sign. Kendyl is becoming quite the poser. She is dressed in her brothers hand me down sweat shirt and is wearing his beanie. Doesn't she look cute.
It was a great day and I am glad I got to spend it with my family. It was a great way to bring in the Christmas Season.
