Decorating the tree!
Cooper was a big help! We purposely didn't put very many bulbs at the bottom of the tree..within a couple of weeks...there were NO bulbs half way down the tree. The joys of a one year old.
Kelseyville Light Parade!
One of my favorite new traditions. This was our 3rd year going. I love watching the parade, and enjoying some hot coco! Pictures were taken by Brooklyn herself.
Santa Claus came to town...
Can't go without seeing Santa Claus..and he always shows up to our ward Christmas dinner...so nice!
Once he walked in, Easton whispered in my ear, "That is Red!" His name is Red. He is in our ward. He still believes though. They all do..somewhat. Brooklyn has been asking questions. Cooper liked Santa and then Santa gave him a candy cane and then he didn't care about Santa anymore.
Eric, Cooper, Jake and Hailey. Cooper and Hailey are 4 months apart. And these dads already have them dating. Hopefully they will be little friends!
David Archuleta's Christmas Concert!
I was excited to see that David was coming to our local art center on his Christmas Tour. The tickets were only $30 each...not too bad for a concert. We took Brooklyn and Easton, Cooper stayed home with a sitter and slept! It started late, well at least to me. 8:00. He had an opener which was ok. And then David came on at 8:30. He sang a few fun Christmas faster songs and then a few of his pop hits. After intermission, he sang all slow Christmas songs like Holy Night. They were beautiful. Brooklyn enjoyed the first half, especially when he sang "Crush." She got sleepy after intermission. Easton fell asleep after the 2nd song..no kidding. Should have left him home with Cooper too. It was a fun night. I am glad I went at least!
Candy Trains!
We can't have Christmas without making Candy Trains...Brooklyn and Easton will make sure of that. They kept asking for weeks when the 18th was so they could make trains. Jimmy, Victoria and their boys came down for dinner and to make trains. It was a fun night. The kids always love this tradition!
Memories!
On the Redford side, every person writes a memory each year. It can be a memory from that year or past years. And then Rod and Jo put them all together for us. So we have a collection of years with all the Redford family memories. It is a great tradition! It's our version of family history...done year by year...little by little. Some day they will be treasures and fun to read for our grandchildren! I love reading the memories..it's fun to get to know little things about everyone. Here are our memories this year...
