Tis the Season

 To start off the Holiday season, we  visited Santa at the mall in order to get my Mom’s favorite picture of the kids with Santa. Luckily Aubrie stayed awake to sit on his lap and didn’t cry this year….probably the last time for a while.
  



Christmas Eve was spent at the Baths for dinner and our annual reading of the new Christmas book for the year. She was loved by everyone there.
 The next weekend, the Bath’s had their family party at their wardhouse with a special visit from Santa. Aubrie got to be the star of the Nativity play as her role of Baby Jesus.

 Our first annual Gingerbread house building night (ours is the lovely one with orange frosting since it was a "home depot" house.
 One of the 3 trees we put up at Aubrie's first Christmas
 Aubrie's first christmas tree in her room was filled with little glass mice eating cookies which was on my tree growing up. These were special to me because each year I got one new piece.
 Aubrie’s first Christmas was a busy one filled with family, fun, and of course lots of presents for this little girl! We started off the Christmas season by going downtown to Temple Square to see the lights and the candy windows that were brought back this year. As a little girl, I always remember how cool the candy windows at ZCMI were and although this years were still neat, I think they used to be better. 



 Aubrie is finally able to stand and play in her new toy...she is still trying to figure it out...but it worked as a great babysitter while I wrapped presents.
 This was the last week she was able to sleep in our room in her bassinet since she was getting too big.
