Christmas at Riverwoods

We didn't take Aiden to see a mall Santa this year because there was a free one down at Riverwoods with hardly any line and we could take all the pictures we wanted. The lights there were pretty cool too so it was fun to go with my family and have fun freezing before going home for yummy hot chocolate and cider.

Grandma, Aiden, and Aunt Wendy waiting in line to see Santa.

Hugs for Santa

They had little heaters everywhere so we spent a lot of time warming up by them. Aiden caught on really fast to what he was supposed to do to get the most benefit.

I thought this gazebo was so cool with all the lights on the ceiling.

Grandma and Grandpa Peterson

Aiden, Grandma, Paige, and Nate warming up by the fire. We stopped at every fire pit because someone in my parents ward designed all the iron designs in them.

All the boys with the giant nutcracker.
