Holiday Fun!

Scavenger Hunt
I put together a Christmas Mall Scavenger Hunt for Bailey and some friends. It was hilarious! They had to take a picture or video of the things on the list. When they finished, we came back to our house for hot chocolate and looked at the stuff they filmed and took pictures of. Some of them were SO funny! Here are a few of the things they had to do:
2 members of the group wearing ugly Christmas sweaters
The group singing Jingle Bells in the center of the mall
The group wearing tacky Christmas ties
A member of the group wearing something appropriate for a fancy holiday party
Acting out a scene from Elf
A stranger telling the group 3 things they want for Christmas
Decorate your group with non-clothing Christmas accessories
They had a list of 25 things! Good thing she has friends that don't get too easily embarrassed, and love to ham it up!

Rein Deer
Kassie told us where we could go to meet Santa's rein deer! We skipped the line for Santa, and went straight to the rein deer. They were so cute! I'm pretty sure we need a couple of our own!

White Elephant Party
We went to the Russon's annual white elephant Christmas party. Like always, it was hilarious! I laughed so hard my face hurt! We came home with some great treasures!

Christmas Ornaments
It was strange (and a little sad) decorating for Christmas without Sawyer this year. Bailey pulled out the stockings and I wanted to cry when she asked if she should put his out ;(! The kids get a new ornament to put on the tree each year. We sent one to Sawyer to put on his little missionary tree, but we got a missionary one for our tree too. Bailey got a 1D ornament. She was pretty excited!

The three of us got influenza right before Christmas, so we had to miss out on some holiday fun. Bailey missed the Angle Tour at school, and I missed my annual friend party with the Sandcreek girls. We were so bummed! We still had loads of holiday fun though!
