FHE

Last night after our Family Home Evening lesson, we piled in the car to go visit the ginormous Christmas Tree (it's real too!) at Fashion Island that was just put up this past weekend. It literally was a perfect night.


The kids were in such great moods...no one was cranky or tired, can't you tell? In these shots, their smiles look like they could lift their little bodies airborne! lol






Warmed up with a large hot-chocolate and a cookie to share



Aaron took the older kids up the ever-exciting escalator (that they never get to ride on when they are with mom since I always have a stroller keeping my runner restrained), while Chase and I took the elevator and when the doors opened, we were greeted by these turkeys. I made them re-enact it so I could take a picture. The kids (and their ringleader) thought themselves quite hysterical!


We did get to see Santa, and Spencer was able to whisper to him (couldn't find his voice) that he wanted Legos for Christmas, but Leda and Chase were not feeling Santa last night and stayed put in the doorway without moving an inch.

One last shot on the way out:

It's nice to have a night out every once in a while where no one is crabby and we all have a great time!
