In Touch with the Sorenson's: Christmas Holiday Fun

I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season and is not getting too wrapped up in the hustle and bustle of everything. Garrett reminded me today that there was only 12 more days until Christmas!! 12 DAYS!!!! I've been enjoying myself too much and I don't have very much done....OH WELL!! We're having a blast and that's what should count.

I have been making candy and put them in mason jars and then got these SUPER cute cards at Costco for $8 (for 60 of them!!). Aren't they cute little gifts!!!

Last Saturday Haylee's ballet studio put the ballet The Nutcracker. I wanted to go as a family but Josh needed to study and Garrett wanted to stay home and play Mario so I decided it would be a fun Mommy/Daughter date. I invited our good friends Suzanne and her daughter Addison and we had a blast. The girls LOVED it!!!

Ready to go all dressed up!!

Anxiously waiting for the show to start

Haylee DID NOT like the "mean mouse"

BRAVO, BRAVO!!

That evening when we got home we all got in the car for a Christmas surprise!! We took the kids to this dairy that has transformed the dairy into a Winter Wonderland. It was really cute. We were hoping to see Santa but he was a 2-3 hr wait....we love you Santa but not that much!!

Alpenrose Dairy's Winter Wonderland!!

They had this little village, "Storybook Lane" that was filled will little house and animals. It was really neat to walk through!!

We told the kids we were going to see Christmas lights but we decided to go get something to eat first. We ate at Old Spaghetti Factory and they had several decorations out front. Garrett said he loved the all the lights so we just went with it....while he thought we were driving home, we drove up to this......

You should have seen the excitement on his face!!! This was at the Portland International Raceway where they set up all these lights on the race track. We drive about 5 mph throughout the displays and it took us about 40 minutes to get all the way through. It was SO worth it!!!
