YAY! I finally got around to going through all of our photos from December this weekend! Looking back through the photos I can’t believe how much we actually fit into one month! No wonder it went by so fast…
As I mentioned before, we stayed in Utah from the day before Thanksgiving until the day after Christmas. So we definitely tried to fit in as many Utah activities as we could! Especially since we knew this would probably be our last year being in UT for more than a few days right around Christmas.
Up first was our Elf Breakfast to celebrate the return of Sonic the Elf. The Elf on a Shelf is a thing we do all month and it’s really more about having fun than the elf watching for bad behavior. Our elf is even known to bring some fun surprises like new Christmas pajamas to wear all month or ingredients to make Christmas cookies! 🙂
Titan loved looking through some of the goodies that Sonic brought. It was definitely a great way to start off the month.
Later that same Sunday all my siblings and their families came over to my mom’s house for their usual Sunday Family Dinner. My dad spotted these Duck Dynasty cookies at the store and decided they might make a good dessert. Of course, we had to get a photo of them with the biggest Duck Dynasty fan in the family, my brother Conner.
After dinner all the grandkids helped decorate Grandma Cindy’s Christmas Tree. She does a Disney themed tree and so the kids have a lot of fun putting all the Disney ornaments up.
…and of course, the night wouldn’t have been complete without getting new Advent Calendars from Papa Scotty (my dad). Ti kept asking for one of these at the store and I kept telling him that Papa Scotty would have one for him. Sure enough, he delivered!
One of our favorite things to do when we are in Utah is to go see lots of movies with my mom’s “Magic Card” as Titan calls it. My mom, dad, and three of my siblings all work for Megaplex Theaters in Utah. So we definitely spend a lot of time at the theaters whenever we are there. This time around we were lucky enough to see Frozen (Ti actually ended up seeing Frozen 3 different times!), Saving Mr. Banks, Free Birds, Ender’s Game, Catching Fire, Philomena, and The Book Thief!
Ti loves spending time with his cousins!
One of the many snow storms that hit while we were in Utah!
Our elf having breakfast with Tigger!
Ti and Broc playing tic-tac-toe during one of our many outings to Guadalahonkeys as their smothered bean and cheese burrito’s was one of the only things sounding good to me!
Our elf playing tic-tac-toe with the Yetty!
…another morning our elf brought some Dove chocolate so we could make our favorite Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies!
Yum yum!
I was so excited we were able to fit the Festival of Trees in this year.
Broc and Ti weren’t too thrilled by the trees but Ti had fun with his cousins and Broc was a good sport and humored me. 🙂
Ti and his cousins found the perfect seats to watch a performance at the festival.

The Alpine Live Nativity
This was by far one of our most favorite activities. I had never been to this live nativity before and so I had no idea what to expect. Luckily, it was incredible. So well done and definitely worth the 30 minute drive out to Alpine. They had live camels, demonstrations like wood carving, basket weaving, etc. and so much more.
Of course there was the most important part of the nativity which was Joseph and Mary with Baby Jesus. A great reminder of why we celebrate Christmas!
if you are ever in Utah when this nativity is happening, make sure to hop online and grab free tickets for your family!
Since I wasn’t feeling to hot all month long (gotta love morning sickness), Broc would come home from work with treats most days. Fountain DC and a Snickers ice cream bar…it doesn’t get much better than that!
One of the days my mom had off work we made our way downtown to City Creek! My mom needed to stop in the Disney Store to pick up some things and of course, we weren’t complaining. Ti loved walking around that store!
Notice, Archie the Scare Pig in his hands. Spoiled little man ended up convincing Grandma to get it for him!
Enjoy the Frozen music videos that were playing.
We loved walking around seeing all the decorations City Creek had up.
Plus, we just had to have lunch at The Cheesecake Factory and then grab some eclairs at Kneaders for dessert! Ti was excited about the elf sucker he got for finding the elf hiding in Kneaders.
The pretty sunset on our ride home from City Creek.
I’d say someone loves his Archie the Scare Pig! 🙂
The chocolate orange my mom surprised me with. She knows I sometimes have a hard time finding this exact brand in stores. So the first time she saw one, she grabbed it for me!
Since I wasn’t feeling so well all month we spent a lot of time during the day watching our favorite shows like “Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood” and doing lots of Christmas projects.
The little man hard at work!
Some of the finished projects! I love all the fun and easy craft projects you can find in the Target One Spot and at the Dollar Store.
Ti has been asking us the last few times we were in Utah if we could go to the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Point. This time around we were finally able to make it happen. We went with my sister , Ti’s cousin Courtland (her son), and my mom.
If we lived in Utah, I would so get a membership to this place! Ti loved the Tinkering Exhibit they had open as well as the Dinosaurs!
Checking out some real dinosaur fossils.
Having fun with all the hands on activities they have in the museum. It seriously is such a perfect place for kids!
Of course we just had to get a photo with the shark!
…and then it was time to get dirty exploring for fossils in the sand pit!
And Ti just “had” to get his souvenir penny. He got one of these pennies at the Mayan when it used to be open and now asks to stop whenever he sees a machine.
That night after the dino museum my sister and I decided to also attend a class at Cardio Barre in Sandy. I had never been so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect but the class ended up being awesome. Plus, they had free child care on site. So Ti got to spend even more time with his cousin while we worked out. Win win for everyone!
Last but not least for this post, Breakfast with Santa and Mrs. Clause at the Legacy Crossing Megaplex Theater.
My brother puts on this event every December at his theater and it is SO much fun. The kids get to talk with Santa and Mrs. Claus. And they serve a yummy breakfast followed up by some crafts and a Christmas movie!
Ti with Papa Scotty during breakfast! (As you can see, my dad and I are the DC drinkers in the family. My dad showed up with two ice cold DC’s, one for him and one for me, knowing it was an early morning.) 🙂
Ti working on his reindeer craft.
Before the movie Mrs. Claus read a Christmas story to all the kids. Then we got to watch some Dreamworks Christmas Cartoons in the theater like the Madagascar Christmas Movie! (This isn’t the best photo, but in a dimly lit theater, you get what you get a phone camera!)
…and that is all for this post. Stay tuned for Part 2!
