Last week for FHE we bundled up and drove to Heritage Park for their Candlelight Christmas.

We rode on a train. It was freezing!! This is the face that Hannah gives whenever I say "Eyes on the camera." Nice.
Grace does NOT like her hood.
It was so cold on the train ride, but luckily, the houses were toasty and we stayed warm.

There were fun crafts, a puppet show, stories,

stores to play dress up,
and we were able to print our own Christmas card on an old-fashioned printing press.
In the school house we were taught a dance from pioneer days.

Pretty impressive, huh!?
They had a live nativity and an elf village.
One of Hannah's favorite things were the live reindeer. She kept saying, "Dasher?...Vixen?..." Trying to get them to answer. So cute.
We finished out the night with a visit with Father Christmas. Hannah whispered what she wanted for Christmas.

Grace had her first meeting with Santa. She was NOT a fan. I was surprised because she loved all of the characters at Disney, but not Santa! Hopefully he won't be offended and will still leave her a present on Christmas night!

Looks like fun! I'm a sucker for stuff like that.

That is so funny that Grace is afraid of Santa. That Disney just knows his stuff and knows what kids will like. Love the pictures. MOM
