Tianna's last day of school before the break was the 19th. I volunteered to help with the Christmas party for her class. Yes... this was her whole class. Add one boy who was sick that day and that's it. Talk about one on one attention! Needless to say my help wasn't really needed... but it was fun to attend the shin-dig with Tianna. Plus I got a cupcake!
On the 20th we had a super duper busy day. First off Luke and I attended his cousin's wedding in the Oquuir Mountain Temple. Meanwhile, his sister, Courtney, took the girlies (Linaya included!) to the Aquarium. Hooray for Auntie Courtney.. they couldn't stop talking about how fun it was.
The sealing was beautiful and it was fun to see Hallie smile and smile and smile the entire time. I think she was pretty happy :)
After the FREEZING cold pictures were taken we went to the luncheon. Then we went to my brother's house nearby and visited with him and his family.
Then we went to check out Scheels. It was pretty cool...but I'd rather go there when we aren't so rushed.
Then we drove back to the west side of the valley to attend the reception.
Whew! Tired yet? We were... but we really wanted to fit a Temple Square trip in this season and this was the best day to do it.
So....... we drove up to North SLC to Temple Square. We got there so late we missed the Nativity thing they do--which is my FAVORITE part, but we were still able to enjoy the lights and the Spirit which is felt there.
Oh, did I mention it was FREEEEEEEEEEEEZING cold? Cause it was.
Snack time
I love Temple Square. Even though it was really late and we had a screaming baby, freezing, tired children, it was worth it. It always gets me in the true spirit of Christmas.
