One thing Scott really wanted to do was this candlelight Christmas at This Is the Place Heritage Park. They had old fashioned Christmas activities. It turned out to be kind of cool. We met up with my brother Drew and his family and my sister Amy and her family.
We started out with the live reindeer. (It was so super foggy but I think that helped create the abience). After the reindeer we saw Father Christmas (F.Y.I. Not the same as Santa Claus) When we sat Peter on his lap, Father Christmas gave him a candy cane and asked him "what he wanted for Christmas?" Peter handed back the candy cane and answered "Open it" That's as simple request. If all we ever need to give for Christmas was "opening it" what a simple life this would be.
Check out the Nutcracker the size of Peter he thought it was the coolest thing.
There were all kinds of arts and crafts, caroling and such. Scott and Ellie loved the dancing. Can you believe that was Scott's favorite thing? I can't even get him to dance at weddings but he liked the Virginia Reel. . . Who would have guessed.
William loved the live nativity complete with real Shepherds, sheep, and Wise men. He kept asking me if he could pet the baby. Much to his disappointment the baby was a fake.
Brennen loved the writing letters to Santa and then sending them up in ashes in the fire. That is until he burned his hand on the fire barrel
