It's the most wonderful time...

We have had a fun filled week...trying to do all the fun Christmas stuff here before we head to CA for a week. We have gone to look at lights, at 3 different places, one place was a drive thru light show-brilliant! Since it was 5 degrees outside! And then at the end they had reindeer that the girls could feed, and they loved that. Friday night Hayley took me to see the Christmas Mormon Tabernacle concert with Natalie Cole. It was fantastic! People who live here really take for granted all the great resources and experiences they have in Salt Lake. The prophet was there, and it's just a normal occurrence for them...I on the other hand think it's the coolest thing in the world!

Then yesterday we took the girls to see the Princess and the Frog and we all loved it! They finally used the same format that worked (like Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast)-hand drawn animation, great story, fun music and funny characters. Then we took the Trax train downtown to see the lights at Temple Square. Once again, another amazing opportunity that comes with living here. Temple Square is the perfect and most gorgeous place to see lights, in my opinion. The visitor center, nativity scenes all over the grounds and thousands of lights make it breathtaking. The pictures don't do it justice.

And this is the girls' favorite place lately...they like to lay right in front of the fireplace to get cozy. It's funny how even though it's 70 degree inside, you can never get warm because it's freezing outside!
