Christmas in Paradise

We went to Paradise to have Christmas with grandma and papa. I really didn't do a very good job of capturing our weekend. I got some good pictures of the girls opening their gifts, but that was about all. And as you can see... they loved their gifts. It was a fun weekend. We went out to dinner one night and Grandma fixed a nice dinner the next night. We visited and relaxed and the kids played. Papa came to church with us. We are always so spoiled and love spending time in Paradise with family.

Angels We Have Heard On High

I know I'm biased, but Sage is the prettiest angel. She danced to Angels We Have Heard On High and did an amazing job. We love the dance studio where she is taking classes and love her teacher. She looks forward to going to class each week and has so much fun. She was anxious to get back stage and wanted to do another dance. Harper threw a huge fit and kept screaming, "I want that!" and pointing to the stage. She wanted to badly to go up on the stage and dance with the girls. Each week at dance class she cannot wait for the end of class when they do their goodbye dance because then she gets to dance for a minute. In fact, I have lost track of her a couple times because every time I turn my back she runs off and I can almost find her interrupting the class and trying to dance with them. At the end of the performance all the dancers were called onto the stage to thank the teachers and get a little treat. Harper sat on stage right next to Sage like she belonged there. Another few months we will have another little dancer on our hands. 

Grand America Window Displays

This is our third year visiting the Grand America's window displays and gingerbread house. We love this tradition. 

Temple Square Lights

We love going downtown and walking around Temple Square to see the lights and this year was no different. Sage kept saying how "awesome" the lights were and Harper enjoyed them too. Cannon stayed nice and cozy in his carseat. Taylor surprised me with an early Christmas and anniversary gift and got me a new camera, so it was fun playing with the manual mode and taking pictures with it. The temple and lights really are breathtaking.
