Sugar Plums part 3

This year we decided to spice up our trip to Temple Square to see the lights. We decide to to take tracks downtown to the Gateway where (Thanks to Grandma Allen for the McDonalds gift cards) we had dinner and walked around a little. We then headed up to temple square. We enjoyed the lights and the nativity scene and then we jumped back on tracks and headed home. The kids loved it. The trip was short and sweet. That's pretty much the only way our family can do things these days. Short but meaningful and the kids all expressed how fun it was and how grateful they were for the fun evening.

One of my favorite things about Christmas- new Church clothes. Growing up, my mom made sure that she made all of the girls new dresses for Christmas. Now with my own family, I do the same except we are overloaded with ties, sweaters, and white shirts. At least I get to make one dress- Jocelyn loved her new dress, thankfully- 3 patterns put into one and some of my own for the ruffles, it turned out exactly how I pictured it in my head. They all looked dashing in their new clothes.
