Alpine Village

We made our 2nd annual trip to Alpine Village this year with the Britt family. And, Caroline was in tow...in the Bjorn carried by Daddy, thank goodness, instead of in my very pregnant belly! It was exactly the same setup as last year...the Trinity Baptist gym all decked out like a little Christmas Village. Tyler loved visiting all the village shops and, of course, playing in the snow!! We also enjoyed the puppet show and ate lots of popcorn and candy. We opted to skip seeing Santa (since the line was super long and we had already been) for another visit to play in the snow, at Tyler's request. We really did have a blast - it is such a neat event that I look forward to each year.

Our sweet family.

Tyler was too obsessed with his bell for the picture, but Caroline was ALL about it!

Waiting for the puppet show to start.

"Did you know there is going to be a puppet show?" "Oh really, cool!"

I love this face! C closes her eyes when she's laughing really hard!

This little girl has Daddy wrapped already!

All 4 kiddos before we left.

Tyler was done with pictures at this point. Ha!

When we got home, I found snow everywhere...even inside Tyler's diaper! And the diaper bag was open when I went in to play with Tyler, so it is covered, too. Oh well.

On the move with the Baby Jesus in one hand and a road sign in the other!
