Christmas Village and Late Birthday Night

This is such a magical time of year for Brigham- he loves seeing the lights, watching Christmas movies, and seeing all the decorations. I think it's funny that he even feels the need for the radio to constantly be playing Christmas music. I've even caught him dancing a few times but stops the second he realizes I'm watching him.

To kick off our holiday season we went to see the Ogden Christmas Village and Brigham was thrilled. It was fun to see his reaction to meeting Santa for the first time- when it was finally his turn to sit on Santa's lap he ran for the exit! With mommy holding his hand he sat on Santa's lap and with some help from me he whispered to Santa that he wanted trucks and dirt for Christmas. After he left Santa, I enjoyed seeing the silent look of amazement on his little face!
After we got home we celebrated Matt's belated birthday and ate cake. What an exciting night!

Hurray for the mini Ogden arch!



Brigham and Santa.



If you want to know how old Matt is- look for the subliminal number that the candles form. If you can't figure it out- he's too old for just one box of candles...



The birthday boy!
