We did lots of fun things this year to get ready for Christmas.We went to a couple of Christmas parties and saw Santa TWICE!
We decorated (and quickly ate) the gingerbread house.
We decorated the Christmas tree. With the tree on a table and Scott and Charlotte hanging most of the ornaments, 90% of them were on the very bottom branches. Good thing Trevor can't reach them yet!
We went to see the Christmas lights in Rocklin (great job decorating, Biggs!). We watched lots of Christmas shows, including our new favorite: Disney's Prep and Landing. If you didn't see it this year, definitely look out for it next year! Here's a preview and introduction to two new very important elves in our house named Wayne and Lanny. They are responsible for going into homes ahead of Santa, scoping out the place to make sure it is ready, and then setting up a landing strip on the roof for the reindeer.
Scott and Charlotte were probably more excited this year that Wayne and Lanny were coming than Santa. And even though we had an early Christmas with 13168 Grandma and Grandpa and Uncle Michael before we headed to St. George, somehow Wayne, Lanny AND Santa managed to find us! Scott got a green razor scooter and Charlotte got a "purple Sleeping Beauty princess bike" - just what they both wanted! Although for a moment Charlotte was more excited about the bottle that came with the bike... Check out the video to see the reaction.
Stay tuned for the next post about our Christmas in Utah...

Prep and Landing was a hit in our house, too! We watched it on Christmas Eve instead of our usual tradition of Mr. Kruger's Christmas. The kids watched it over and over again until McKay secretly deleated it from our DVR list because he was sick of it. :)
That's so Tinsel!
What were you doing in Utah?
Glad to hear we weren't the only ones that loved Wayne and Lanny! Liz - we went to St. George for Christmas now that Drew's parents live there. Slightly different than going to Pasadena...
Oh, and next year I'm totally going to use my two favorite phrases from the show:
Oh, frostbite!
That's so tinsel!
Great job on the tree guys! I love the first couple of pics. of Trevor! What a happy little guy! You are so brave for taking all three kiddos to Target :)
I don't know the show, but I love Scott loving reindeer named Wayne and Lanny, and I love having hands free to finally go back and say so. Cute children, these are.
