Kick off to Christmas!

Our good friends Tyson and Jen (and their super cute twins Merrick and Berkleigh) are in town for the month, so to kick off the Christmas season we went to the Irvine Spectrum mall with Jen and the twins. Tyson couldn't make it to the mall but Jason was a trooper. He and Emily entertained themselves on the carosel and the Polar Express, a cute little train that drove around the stores, while Jen and I did some Christmas shopping. It was fun to be at the mall and hear Christmas music and see the fun decorations. Sometimes it's hard to get in the holiday mood here when the weather is so warm, but yesterday was actually pretty chilly so it made it even more festive. We topped the night off with a lively dinner (always lively with 4 kids under 2) at Islands. We had a great day and look forward to few weeks of playing with the Scotts.

Another carosel. Sorry, it never gets old for her.
Emily and dad on the Polar Express.
Lauren in the stroller. Pook kid, one of these days she'll get to do the big girl stuff.

So your good friends Tyson and Jen Scott I think are related to our good friend Cameron Scott here in Austin. Tyson is Cameron's little brother. What a small world. Anyway, your family is so cute and what adorable little girls. It is great to see you all doing well.

I can't wait until next year when Dallin is 20 months at Christmas and he'll be able to get as excited as Emily! What a cute family you have. (And I'm glad I don't have to blog stalk you anymore too.)
