Thornton Winterfest

One great thing about our activity advent idea is that we’ve been discovering and exploring events in the area that we weren’t aware of before—the Thornton Winterfest has been the biggest surprise so far. We went on Friday night, and will definitely be including it in future years.

It’s in the Thornton City Park, which was filled with hundreds and hundreds of small Christmas trees, as well as a Santa’s village of miniature houses.

In the center of the area is a HUGE tree and an ice skating rink.

Around the periphery are various stages and tents, including an ice sculpture exhibit.

Sawyer’s really obsessed with Frosty right now.
