Christmas in the Park and Getting a Tree

We bundled up the kids and headed to Christmas in the Park (a downtown San Jose tradition) with friends Aaron, Allicyn, Haley and Lily. It was a cooooooold evening!!! The kids loved it. It was so fun to see their reactions this year (compared to last year). They ooohed and aaaahed over the animatronics, lights and decorations. They also sat on Santa's lap and told him what they wanted this year for Christmas. We weren't sure if they would be afraid or not, but sure enough they sat right on his lap!


Baby Lily - could she be any cuter??!!

All four kids visiting with Santa. Lily couldn't stop looking at him :)

"I would like a doll house please Santa."


"I want trucks Santa."

Playing in the pretend snow.
The Explorer Preschool tree.


We contemplated buying a fake tree this year and once we finally made up our minds, the one we wanted was all sold out. So we packed up the kids and headed to the Santa Cruz mountains one beautiful Monday morning, only to discover the tree farms were closed. Sooooo, we drove to the closest tree lot and picked out a tree!


The kids had fun running through the rows of trees and hiding from us and each other.
