Light Boat Parade

Saturday night we headed down to Tempe to enjoy the light boat parade.  The boys loved being at the parade, seeing the lights, and just running around the lake.

 There are so many amazing holiday activities and the weather is fantastic.  I am loving this holiday season.

Gingerbread Houses

My mom loves doing gingerbread houses with the grandkids and we all had so much fun together. 

 Patrick constructing his amazing house, Cameron called it his temple.

 Helping Hunter build and decorate his house.

 Grandma and Brody getting in on the fun.

 Cameron putting Angel Moroni up on the top of the temple.

 The boys philosophy on the gingerbread houses is that the more candy the better.

 I think they ate their weight in sugar.

  The finished products.

 Enjoying all of their hard work.
Yummy, Yummy

Playing at the Park

We have had a great time exploring all of the parks close near to our home.  The boys really enjoy the dump park.

 

 Here are the two little guys rolling down the fake grass hill.  They loved rolling down the hill over and over again.

Playing on the swings.

 Spinning around for fun.  I love getting out to play and watching these little ones play all around.

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.
