Tuesday night, we went to This Is The Place park for their evening Christmas celebration. It was snowing, which made for slightly nerve-wracking driving conditions (we won't go into the crazy driver who scared us all half to death), but very pretty, if chilly, wandering at the park.
Reading the map.
Pretty wall decorations inside one of the houses.
Traditional Christmas carolers! That would be so fun.
Peter and I learned a pioneer dance.
Wednesday we didn't really take any pictures. We did some shopping, practiced a song for the Burnett family talent show, and went out for dinner and desert.
Christmas Eve we did a little more shopping, and hung out until the Burnett family Christmas party that night, but I didn't take any pictures there, either. We sang an a cappella song with two of Peter's brothers and their wives - That's Christmas to Me.
Friday: Christmas morning!
It was snowy again. We drove over to Peter's parents' house to do Christmas with them. Peter's family has a tradition of making a little decoration for each grandchild centered around a grape juice can.
We got some more lovely presents, and my parents and Kira joined us for breakfast. We watched Hallmark movies and played games until lunch, when more of Peter's dad's family joined us. My family left after lunch, but we stayed a bit longer to play some games. That night, we finished off with the traditional viewing of Muppet Christmas Carol.
