Around the holdiays Amy and I took Canyon, Lydia, and Landon to feed the ducks. They stood back at first not sure what to think of a billion quacking ducks....
then got right down by the water to feed the swarming ducks. They had so much fun! Until the crazy seagull came and tried prentending it was a duck (it is in the pic below). It was one aggressive and scary seagull.
Canyon was so much fun for Christmas this year! He loved Christmas lights! When we would go outside or drive in the car he would say over and over "Oh wow! Cool!" or "good one!". And if we didn't respond he would say "Mom! Dad! Cool!". He couldn't believe that sometimes we weren't as excited as he was about the Christmas lights.
I also took Canyon to the zoo lights with Max, Uncle Devin and Lindsey, and Grammy. He loved it! We saw some animals, a lot of Christmas lights, and even got to rid on the carousel.
We tried Santa again this year. As you can see it did not go well. We kept telling Canyon that if he sat on Santa's lap he would get a sucker. I thought he was actually going to do ok with a bribe of a sucker, but it did not work. He got a sucker anyway and immediately stopped crying as soon as he was off Santa's lap. What a rascal! We also got to do a few more fun Christmas things this year. We went to the Festival of Lights in Spanish Fork and also went to see the lights and reindeer at Thanksgiving point. Canyon loved every minute of it:)
We spent Christmas Eve at my parents house and had a delicious dinner. Canyon and Max got to open Christmas PJ's. Canyon got Car jammies. He was very excited (and still is) to wear them.
He also got to go to Grandma Furr's house and get more PJ's. He is so spoiled!

Christmas day was fun and busy. It took us about two hours to open presents with Canyon. He would open one present and want to play with it right away. He was so cute and excited to get new toys. We also visited both of the Grandparent's houses. While at Grandma Furr's, Canyon and Lydia got into the Christmas decorations. It made a big mess.
Canyon gave Lydia car slippers for Christmas. They were so excited to wear them together.
So on Christmas morning Daniel and I leave the room for 5 seconds to get some breakfast and we come back to this! Packing peanuts everywhere! Canyon decided to not only dump them all over the place, but to break them up into little pieces. They were stuck to his face and his hair. I was literally cleaning up little tiny pieces of packing peanuts for the next two weeks.
We were a little late to Temple Square and Gateway this year but we finally made it after Christmas. Canyon was so mad about being all bundled that he wouldn't even look at us and say anything about the lights.
My friends do an annual New Year's Day trip to the Olive Garden. We have gone every year for over 10 years! Wow we are old!!!
