Tree Trimming is FUN!!

I got a new snowman at the Christmas Tree Farm! I like to give him hugs! I gave him a big hug in the store... I think that's why Mommy decided to bring him home. :)

Yipee!!! It's time to decorate the treeeee!

I loved playing with the lights!!
all the lights are on now.. what's next?

ornaments!! this one is from when mommy and daddy went camping when mommy was pregnant with me.. idyllwild.

We got 6 new ornaments just this year!

this is the one we got at ben n jerry's in vermont

this is my joshua tree ornament ... we also got one from bryce, zion, cape cod, and canobie lake park!

daddy always puts the angel on top

all done :)

I met Santa today

Mommy and I made a quick stop at the Live Oak Canyon place again, now they are all decked out for Christmas (though they still had Halloween stuff up today too, odd)... but SANTA was going to be there! So, we went... this is the entrance: Heeeeere's SANTA!!!! (He kinda scared me a little but, but I still sat with him. Once I was sitting with him I became distracted by all the other people and was fine! I wasn't happy, but I was okay. :)
It is fun running through the trees!

and playing hide n seek in the Christmas trees! "where's noah?!"

Hehe ehe heheeheheee, mommy found me!

Snowy day in Zion

Oh dear.

We woke up this morning to find it snowing, which it did all day for us. Hello snow men! We didn't make these guys, just found them near a parkign lot.

We decided to do the 2 mile Riverwalk today. This time with the other, Little Life, backpack which had the most amazing rain cover! I stayed nice and warm the whole time! Not to meniton how many comments we got from others on the trail! Everyone was so impressed with how prepared Mommy and Daddy were. People are just so happy and friendly on the trail!
It's snowing! A stranger actualy insisted he needed to take this picture of us, for us. So nice!
Backpack flap can open too...
... and closed.

on the trail with Mommy

Taking a little break in an alcove.

The nice person who took this picture of us actually asked permission to take their own pic as well... I am telling you, everyone really liked this backpack!

Hanging out in my backpack on the bench. He he.

It did get a little foggy in there though.

And now I am riding with Daddy.

Such a winter wonderland. It was awesome!

The end of the trail, and the entrance to "The Narrows".

Heading back to the car, still snowing.

A splash of colorful leaves.

We also went on a short hike to Weeping Rock.

Silly family photos!

Heading back to the car after our last hik.

Yup, that was super awesome. Zion is amazing!
