Cold weekend fun.

Last weekend was soooo cold, but we got out and did a lot of activities! Jacob an to a consignment store on Thursday to get the 3 big kids heavy coats because all they had were hoodies. 

Thursday evening the chamber group of the youth orchestra Jacob conducts was playing at our city's downtown open house and Christmas tree lighting ceremony. It was fun just super cold!

On Friday night, we went to a Christmas tree lighting at an outdoor mall in a nearby town. We missed the actual lighting because the traffic was INSANE and we had to park on the top floor of the parking garage. Oh well. The kids didn't know the difference. Jacob's mom went with us, and it was so nice to have her help us keep up with children in the huge crowds. :)

Levi and a giant christmas ball.

Lily standing by a giant reindeer's leg. It was SO cold and windy!

We didn't last long outside, but we went to Barnes and Noble and the kids had the best time! 

Grammie got the kids (and Jacob) rides on the carousel. 

There was a santa the kids could see after they rode the carousel. Lily told him she wants a doll and Levi said he wants an umbrella. HA! 

On Saturday morning, there was a 5K race that Jacob and some other family members ran in. Lily and my nephew, Ridley, ran the 1 mile fun run. They did so well!

Here they are just starting out.

Right before crossing the finish line. :) We were so proud of her!
