We've been busy this weekend with fun Christmas festivities. Friday night we went to the Town Center for their "Hometown Holiday" celebration. We listened to carolers, mailed Bryson and Colin's letter to Santa, drank hot cider, and made ornaments and crafts at the booths we perused. After a quick ride on the Christmas train, we came home and decorated the Christmas tree.
Then on Saturday we traveled to the Polar Express presentation at our old library, which remains my favorite public library. We used to live behind this particular library and when Jarom was in nursing school and working, Bryson and I would go to check out books, listen to storytime, or see their many great presentations at least twice a week. It was a great place to take Bryson to on days when we had no car and no real plans, and we got to love the programs it offered and to love the library staff as well. The librarians still know us by name years later and can't believe how big Bryson is getting and are excited that we are now bringing in Colin, a baby who already loves books.
The boys looked at books and Bryson made a special ornament while we waited to "board" the Polar Express. The librarians took our tickets and seated us on the "train" and then served hot chocolate while a guest narrator read the book. Santa made an appearance and gave everyone a bell to remember to believe in the Christmas spirit. Then Jane took Bryson to "The Savior of the World" play that our stake put on. It was a fun weekend!
