The Lights at Temple Square

Many of you probably have the same tradition, but each year we try to make it down to Temple Square to see the lights. It seems like there is always some sort of occurrence that makes the trip less than enjoyable, like the year Halle threw up, or the year we got a parking ticket (I thought downtown parking was free for the holidays??), but this year it was actually nice. We found a close parking spot (WITHOUT getting a ticket), and everyone seemed to have a good time. The only thing that would have made it better is if Jason could have come. At least he has Christmas off!

TOO COLD!!

Maybe I need to crank the heat up, or maybe my son takes after his grandpa, but for whatever reason, Spencer has been feeling a little chilly lately. For the last few days, he has frequented this spot on the floor. He finds whatever toy he wants to play with, and scoots it over to the vent. Sometimes he lays directly on top of it, hogging all of the warm air from the rest of us. Silly kid!


BTW, if you haven't heard the newest addition to our Christmas music list at the bottom of the blog, be sure to give Neil Diamond a listen. It's one of Jason's personal favorites! ha ha!

This n That

I have gotten a little behind on my blogging . . . AGAIN. Most of you have probably given up reading my blog by now, so it is likely there will be NO comments on this post, but JUST IN CASE somebody stops by, who hasn't given up on me yet, here are some semi-recent pics.

Halle had two of her teeth pulled because the permanent teeth were growing in BEHIND the baby teeth, rather than pushing them out. Thank goodness for vanilla smelling gas and goggles that view movies. Yay for Kidz Dental Works!!

Just a few cute pics of Cam and Jason

Cozy movie night

And last, but not least, Spencer learned to CRAWL, in spite of our efforts to delay this milestone as long as possible. DANGIT, now I will have to vacuum!

Email Santa

This year was no exception. Halle went to see Santa Claus, but she FORGOT to tell him both of the things she wants. TRAGEDY!! I don't know if it's the magical experience of ACTUALLY talking to Santa, sitting on his LAP of all places, or just the nervousness of the whole situation, but Halle ALWAYS seems to forget to tell him SOMETHING. Soooooo, I did some searching, and found this SUPER cute website (click here). You can email Santa, check the naughty or nice list, and do lots of other fun things. He will even send a personalized letter back to you! GENIUS!! I just thought I should share!!
