A Magical Day

We had a magical day. It started with the ultrasound and seeing our new little one. The girls came with us and quickly got tired or it. But it is always amazing to see this little baby wiggling inside. Then we got the first snow of the season. We were so excited. There was about 2 inches after the girls woke up from nap. We had to find all the snow gear and go out immediately. The snow was perfect for making snowmen. We made one, well mostly Mike made it with a little help.





Then headed over to the Glazier Conservatory at Manito. They put up lights and thousands of poinsettias. You can see it glowing as you approach it. They have a Christmas Cactus that is very appropriately blooming and is 102 years old.





Outside the conservatory there is a hill Mike took the girls down. No sleds...No problem.
We got home and Clara insisted on playing in the snow some more, so she and Mike made 3 more snow creatures and decided it was the cast from Kung-fu Panda. Hannah and I decided to warm up.

After Mike and Clara finally came in, we headed to the ward Christmas Party. The food was good and the Nativity Program by the children adorable. As if that wasn't enough, we were surprised to find out that Santa makes a personal appearance at our Ward Christmas Party. Clara and Hannah were ecstatic. Hannah mostly because he gave out candy canes. These little characters really make the season that much more special.
