Gingerbread Fun

Midway/Heber have some fun holiday activities the first weekend in December every year. There are gingerbread houses displayed in Heber at the event center, Christmas Crèche exhibit at The Homestead, and Swiss Christmas at the town hall.

I really wanted to take my kids to see the gingerbread houses. Ali's kids were staying with my parents and Betsy came too. We started off looking at the gingerbread houses. James and Lynnlee liked it but they also wanted to touch everything. Mostly they just loved being there with their cousins and favorite Aunt. Lynnlee randomly went up to Drew and gave him a big hug.

We went to see the Crèche exhibit next. The kids were being really good considering all the fragile displays. They were staying behind the ropes, staying in line but for some reason the volunteers decided to pick on us. They were hovering over us and shadowing the kids even though they were doing nothing wrong. It was frustrating and so we just left. There were so many kids there too. If they don't want kids there then they should just say that instead of making it really uncomfortable.
The kids made Christmas ornaments at my parent's house that afternoon. We snacked on a delicious white chocolate peppermint popcorn. I included a picture. You can buy it at Target. It's a must for the holidays.
We went to Dairy Keen for dinner. My kids had so much fun watching the train. All in all it was a good day!

I also included a picture of our breakfast. Marshall made German pancakes, his favorite breakfast. Then a picture of the sunrise from my run Saturday morning. So beautiful!
