Friday Fun!

We had quite the busy Friday! We started off our day by watching Santa and Mrs. Claus fly in on a helicopter. We do this every year and we love it! The kids were so excited to see Santa, but Tessa was really disappointed that it wasn't snowing. 

She was shivering, but refused to wear her coat because it would cover up her purple ensemble. 

Ma and Gwen

Pa always gets the cutest pictures of the kids!

Tessa was quick to notice the jewelry store across the parking lot. She told us, "Look! There is the jewelry store!" When we asked her how she knew it was a jewelry store, she said, "Because there is a diamond on it and the word Jewelry." Her poor, poor husband!

Santa and Mrs. Claus both thought Gwen was darling. We were impressed that Santa didn't make her cry since all of her Uncle's do.

Adam and Tessa both go to shake Santa's hand! They were so happy to see him!

Mommy and Tessa got to have a special afternoon together. Since Adam has been going to lots of basketball and football games with Daddy, we thought it would be nice for Tessa to do something special. She has been asking to go to Build-a-Bear for years now. Her wish finally came true!

She picked out a kitty cat to be her new friend. 

She helped put in the kitty voice, the heart, and all the stuffing. 

She loved helping make her new friend, Lucky and was dying to hold her. 

She gave Lucky a very good bath and then we picked out an outfit and a kitty bed for Lucky to sleep in at night. 

She was SO happy!!

We got a little treat on our way home. Mommy got a nibble of Tessa's chocolate treat before she shoved the whole thing in her mouth. That's our Princess:)

Adam and Daddy had a super awesome evening! Eric got 2 Jazz tickets from work so they boys headed up to the game last night. Adam was thrilled to find out the Jazz would be playing the Sacramento Kings (Jimmer's team) and their seats were in the 7th row!! Adam was a little conflicted on who to cheer for, so he decided on "GO JIMMER-JAZZ!!!"

 He almost got a high-five from Jimmer when the Kings came out of their locker room. 

The Jazz pulled off an amazing win-thanks to Adam's favorite, Gordon Hayward. They had lots of fun cheering on their team!
