First Times for Everything!

A lot of firsts this Christmas! It was so great! Of the many, our biggest being our first time at home for the holidays with our kids and more obviously, Brighton's first Christmas!
Our first year going to temple square with kiddos. Freezing, crowded, and totally beautiful as always. More pics to be featured on facebook so I can tag like crazy : ) Above is Tori's first ride on the tram. She loved it! As you can see, pure enjoyment.

First time petting Prancer the reindeer...

And our first visit to the botanical gardens. We took my parents. It was fabulous!

First time truly freezing, this had Temple square beat, but thank goodness for the cute fire pits!

First time getting a golden ticket for the Christmas express. As a side note, mine and Brandon's first times at establishing traditions. My sister pinned this idea on pinterest, and I loved it. Tori was so excited to go ride a train and was sorely disappointed that it was only our car with cookies, hot cocoa, and light seeing, but she was a good sport and really enjoyed the choreographed lights we stumbled upon.


Tori boarding the Christmas express. Brandon hole punched her name in the ticket, so cute! This would also be our first Christmas Eve where Tori opted for her Cinderella dress instead of her Christmas jammies. We actually had to make her wear them later.

First Christmas Eve for our buddy! I just thought this was precious!

First time setting out cookies for Santa. Tori and Dad even wrote Santa a note on his rice krispy treat!

Brighton's first time holding his own toy from Santa! No sharing with sissy this time!

And presents for Tori. Her own table from Granny Sessions for tea parties and what have you!

Our first family pic infront of our tree. I thought my fam just looked awesome! And seriously how much did you all love having church on Christmas day? I wish we could do it every year! It was a great way to follow up unwrapping gifts!

Everything looks so fun! Glad you had great holidays, and that you figured out Brighton's acid reflux--at least you know what to do! Call sometime and we can catch up!
