Santa Claus is coming to town!

Today, the girls and I braved the elements to witness Santa Claus landing his sleigh on the roof of Scheels. I don't know what the temperature was, but it felt like it was 45 below. And the wind was blowing, which didn't help. After standing outside for what felt like hours (but was more likely only about 5 minutes), Santa landed on the roof.

The girls were definitely impressed. We went into the store after the landing because they were supposed to have Christmas-y things going on. The store was CRAZY. People were everywhere! We could hardly move around it was so crazy. We did get to see Rudolph though!

This afternoon, Briana and I got to go to the Mormon Museum for a Brownies field trip. It was pretty fun!

They got to go through the pioneer part of the museum, which was pretty fun, but I'd say the best part of the trip was the big gingerbread house display they had in the basement. There were lots of really elaborate houses. They even had some gingerbread girls!

After seeing everything, Briana was inspired to make a gingerbread house of her own. So we did! In fact, the girls each made two!

The houses turned out really yummy looking!
