pre-christmas

A few things to soak in the season.
Midway's small town Christmas was a highlight.
Real reindeer, Mr. & Mrs. Claus, and a huge paper bag of treats.

hoping for a tamagotchi, an Ozobot, and a magic set:)

I think it was the first time Vivian has come close to Santa's lap since this:

One of my favorite pre-Christmas activities is watching the Salt Lake Children's choir in the Cathedral of the Madeleine. I was in this choir for a few years when I was young and so it's full of nostalgia for me as well as culture for my kids. The acoustics are amazing. Such a beautiful night.

oh, and Vivian is SURE she saw the real Santa at the grocery store, decked out in his Santa suit with gold trim.  Dave asked the teenage store clerk if his credit card said Santa and he said, "YES."
PROOF for VIVIAN this year.
Still a believer.
