Visiting Santa

We took the boys to the Bass Pro Shop to see Santa.  They were so excited and eager to see Santa.

 They also loved playing with all of the toys at the store.

 Talking to Santa.

 Hunter was so worried about telling Santa what he wanted.  It was so cute.  I loved their adorable faces.

Afternoon Fun

We decided to explore and hike around today to enjoy the beautiful weather.

The boys cannot seem to get enough of being outside.

  We found a secret hideout at our favorite park.

I love playing and being outdoors with my two little men.

Shaving Cream Fun

 This morning the boys wanted to take a bubble bath.  I told them bubbles were boring and we should have an Arizona snow fight with a shaving cream bath.  They were so excited.

I told Cameron to be Santa Claus and so he covered his face in shaving cream. 

Hunter was a little tenative at first but started to have some fun getting messy. 

 

I didn't have to tell Cameron twice, he was covered in white within seconds. 

 

Pretty soon they were both covered in Arizona snow. 

These two are always making laugh and love to have fun.  I love how excited they get with every idea I have.

Science Projects

Hunter loves science projects.  He is asking me everyday to come up with new science projects and is always so excited to learn new things.

We did a density bottle where we added different liquids with different densities to view how they layer.  We added a little food coloring to make it a little festive.

 

 This boy is just so excited about science.
We also did peppermint vinegar and baking soda cookie cutter explosions.

 We poured baking soda in the cookie cutters.

Then we shot them with vinegar and a little peppermint extract to cover the smell.  Hunter loved the explosions and colors. 

I need to find more science experiments for 4 year olds.

Zoolights

We went out to Zoolights this year and loved it.  The boys were so excited by all of the lights and absolutely loved exploring the whole zoo.

 The boys being Kung Fu Panda.

It was such a fun holiday night.

Christmas Tree Adventures

This year we thought it would be a great adventure to go up north and chop down our Christmas tree.  The kids absolutely loved playing and marching around outside.

It was such a fun adventure and we loved hiking around together with the family.

Feeding the Ducks

While Hunter was in preschool, Cameron and I headed to the discovery park to play and feed the ducks.

Cameron had quite the entourage of ducks following him around and he just took his time slowly feeding them bit by bit.  It was so funny to see them go nuts for the bread and watch Cameron get excited everytime they did.

He even decided the bread tasted so good he only wanted to share a little. 

Then my little adventurer decided he was big enough to go rock climbing.  He is always scaring mom so much but is so brave.

Hay Ride

 My mom's friend does a little Christmas hay ride so we all headed out as a family to enjoy.

The boys loved cuddling up and seeing the horses. 

We had so much fun singing carols and seeing all of the lights. 

And especially being together with family.  We cannot wait for Christmas. 

Back to Arizona

 We got back to Arizona, and it was  just in time to miss Utah's horribly cold weather and enjoy Arizona's nice and cool weather. 

We had a lot of groceries to get and Hunter decided to climb on to the bottom of the cart for his ride.  He definitely keeps me on my toes. 

We decided to have a picnic in the park that night at the local desert park.  The boys love being there with mom and dad and throwing rocks in the lake.

It is so fun to be back and have wonderful weather to enjoy as a family.
