We've had such a fun time getting ready for Christmas this week! Most of this has included spending a lot of fun time with cousins! On Thursday we got to go to BYU to my dad's lab to see his pigeons and learn about the studies he does with them.
Sophia loved having a turn holding Frank the pigeon.
The other night we got all bundled up (I can't get enough of Lilly's hat) 
and headed to Spanish Fork for the... 
This one was definitely our favorite.
After that we came home to make a gingerbread house.
Unfortunately it only lasted a few minutes before it turned into this.
Yesterday we took advantage of our Pass of all Passes and took the kids mini golfing at Trafalga. It was kind of a nightmare. Mabel was definitely too little to go and Lilly cried every time she didn't make it in the hole on the first try.
Here's Mabel stealing everyone's balls out of the hole.
Here's a cute princes that decided to grace us with her presence. For some reason she looks really weird in this picture. She refuses to wear anything besides dresses and skirts these days and I love the addition of the purse.
We also took a quick minute to watch the cool 4D movie they had going on. It was pretty great!
Last night we made the fun snowflake tortillas that were on Our Best Bites. The girls had a blast with that.
This is random but I always like to take a picture of the cards we receive during the month. Thanks for thinking of us everyone!
This morning we went to my parents house for a yummy Christmas breakfast provided by Jeff and Lexie. They also gave Doug this awesome Gun Mug. I love it! 
This is just a cute random shot of Lilly on the way to Grandmas.
We also got to find out a big surprise. Back in August Doug's parents gave us a challenge of "walking" a certain amount of miles (they wanted to walk a certain distance to a certain place - the surprise) as a family. Our family had walk about 432 miles. We could also get "miles" for going to the temple, having Family Home Evening and reading the whole Book of Mormon. We finished a few weeks ago and were glad to meet our goal! Here's grandma with our big surprise.
They finally opened the box and here's what came out (it's balloons with Disney characters on it)
They figured out that the surprise was a trip to Disneyland and they were all so excited! Here's Sophia's happy face.
And more happy faces.
They also gave all the kids Disney jammies which they were pretty excited about.
This doesn't really have anything to do with anything but we thought it was cute that she found this drink and could not get enough. I love this baby!
Anyway, it really was a great Christmas Eve and we are SO grateful to Doug's parents for the fun surprise. We can't wait to go!
