what a fun way to bring in the Holiday season. The monday before ej and i headed to utah our family went out to Lake Farm Park Lights. we saw Santa, built a toy with an elf, and went on a horse sleigh ride through the snow.... it was perfect!! it had been snowing most the weekend and that really added to the fun. it is so fun to have the kiddos around the holidays. this year has been especially great! she is definitely getting into more of the activities. Nate had been studying quite a bit so it was nice to have a family night out! luckily at our house we didn't have THIS much snow. we absolutely loves this! it sells out every year and we are glad we got our tickets.
