first week of december
this month has been very busy and very fun (so far). the first weekend we got bundled up and cut down our christmas tree.
sully found his own mini tree and hauled it to the car himself. he was quite proud.

the boys' mini tree smells SO good.
on tuesday we took tagg, sully and tess to meet santa. tess didnt cry but she also wasnt super thrilled. 
and she got a lick of her brothers' lollipops afterwards so it was worth it.
after santa we went outside to see snowflake lane. its the best!
my parents are having so much fun with tessy.
the smiths and the creepy penguin. :)
so snowflake lane was fun. but what wasnt fun was saying goodbye to my best friend, megan. she moved to utah and i am pretty depressed about it.
but this little snow nugget can cheer me up anytime.
also the holiday nordstrom party can put a smile on my face. for some reason, last year was the first time my mom and i had ever heard of the holiday nordstrom party. so we made sure that we were able to go this year. it didnt disappoint. festive music, delicious treats and a handsome santa. what a night!
the following night we drove over to woodinville for our tradition of ezells fried chicken and molbaks nursery. we always love this night so much and look forward to it all year. 
smile tess!
on saturday we surprised the kids with a ride on the santa train. it wasnt great weather but they still managed to have fun.
my cute sully boy.
cold and wanting some warm cookies and hot chocolate!
yeah. tess didnt love santa this time around.
happy to be heading home. 
we finished out the week at the nativity festival at the stake center behind the temple. they always do such a fabulous job. the reason for the season!
