It's beginning to look like Christmas!!!

I can't believe Christmas is in 2 weeks! We have been so busy lately that I feel like I have hardly enjoyed it. Luckily the weather here is Southern California has turned cooler and it actually feels like winter! Last weekend we went to Disneyland to see the Christmas parade and see all of the lights! Zoie is really getting into the princesses right now and it makes going to Disneyland so much fun! She gets so excited to see the characters! We stayed late and watched the fireworks show and got to see it snow on main street. It was so much fun! As if it wasn't late enough when we got done with Disneyland, we decided to hit up Krispy Kreme on the way home! We went with some other friends and we were all laughing that we kept our kids up until midnight just to get a donut! The kids loved it and they were all so good! Saturday night we had our ward Christmas party and Santa made a special visit! I was worried that Zoie would freak out when she saw him but she did just the opposite. She ran to him and jumped up on his lap. It was so cute!

Last night we decided to celebrate the end of finals so we met up with some friends at the Cheesecake Factory! We enjoyed dinner together and seeing the lights! We are looking forward to lots of family time over the next three and a half weeks! Yeah...no school!

This tree was huge and real!


We tried to see Santa before we left but they closed the doors on us as we were walking up. Zoie (and Josh) were very disappointed!
