I love Christmas time because there are always so many fun things to do with family and friends! My Mom, Sarah, Hailee and I started our fun on Friday the 19th by making our caramel apples. Now, these aren't the traditional caramel apples, these are caramel apples loaded with Reese's Pieces Peanut Butter Cups, M&M's and Butterfingers candy! They probably weigh two pounds once we are done with them!

On Sunday Dec. 21st, our family went to go see the lights on Thoroughbread in Rancho Cucamunga! It was so much fun! We started off by getting some free hot chocolate provided by the Jewish Church (how nice of them!) It was so good, especially because it was so freezing out!This was Hailee's first time experiencing the "real" cold and of course we weren't prepared. So, she ended up wearing several layers of clothes (tights and a long sleeve shirt under her pajamas which were under her jeans and a sweatshirt.) Luckily we found one of my mom's running beanies so Hailee got to wear that! (Don't worry, I did buy her some girlie ones today!)
Lastly, tonight (Dec. 22) we went out with my Mom, Ricky, the Hansen family and the Eddy family to do some Christmas caroling! It was fun! And Hailee looked soooo cute in her big puffy jacket! She reminded us of the little kid in the movie "The Christmas Story"!
