This is the Place.....

This year the kids are getting old enough now I feel that they may actually remember what we do for the holidays.  So I really wanted to make a fun memory.  I had heard about Candlelight Christmas up at This is the Place and so I hopped online to check it out.  It sounded really fun so we headed up last night.  As we pulled up we missed the turn in and drove past the zoo.  Zoolights looked awesome so we were debating skipping this is the place and going to the zoo.  But I had told colton about seeing real live reindeer at tHis is the place and he really wanted to see that.  So we turned around and went skeptical to Candlelight Christmas.  Chad and I were a little nervous cause it really didn't look that spectacular.  But as we entered it ended up being Awesome!

Right as you walk in there were the reindeer and All the kids loved it.  You get to go into each house and they tell you a story about the house and people that lived there or you  have a little craft you can do.  It was so much fun.  The kids made beaded icicles and wrote letters to Santa that they threw in a magic fire that sent the letter to the north pole with the smoke, they got to write their names on the naughty or nice list, pet live goats and sheep and even a donkey at the live nativity.  We ended the night seeing Father Christmas and riding a train.  It was such a fun evening.  As we were leaving Preston said "Well that was a fun family acitivty".  And that is all a mom wants to hear!!!!!  I am so thankful for this time of the year and the time to spend with my sweet husband and beautiful Children.
