Temple Square

We made it to Temple Square for Family Home Evening last night! I really didn't think we would but I am so glad we did. I was crazy in thinking that if we didn't go on the weekend it would be less crowded.. Crazy! And I was crazy for not using the bathroom at Wingers, the lines were really long. But we made it and GK was so fun. We didn't use the stroller because they can be so hard to direct in a crowd. GK loved to run around like he'd been bit by a dog with rabies! It was fun to chase him around. The lights were so pretty, and my favorite tree was all lit up in red (again my favorite). It is the bottom left pic. in the collage. It wasn't too cold, but the air quality was really bad. I am so glad that we made it though! It really feels like Christmas now!

Uncle Dave!

On Sunday Morning my big brother Dave got in town to celebrate Christmas with the Family!

He was here in February last so it has been a long time since we've seen him

and it was Gk's first time meeting him!

We had a delicious dinner and Kathy Conder came over for a visit!

(Gk just loves her! She makes him the cutest blankets!)

A lot of people say that Gk looks like a cabbage patch doll

With his round face and blue eyes I agree.

The day after Thanksgiving I tried to find one that looks like him but I couldn't.

The first one that I got was a little boy with blue eyes and brown

 hair.

I still had it in my parents attic, so I made my dad get out all my old toys that I am making them keep for some reason.

But I found my little Cabby.

Then we went downtown to see the lights.

It has been a long time since Dave has seen the lights.

I think he was disappointed. They don't light 'em up like they use to.

But it was still fun. I like how they have all the nativities.

Patrick was making sure Gk could see baby Jesus.

But Gk was more interested in something over there!

Thanks everyone I really wanted to go downtown.

The weather was perfect! 

And the lights were beautiful!
