A Family Tradition

Every year the day after Thanksgiving, we attend the Light Up the Night Concert at The Gateway. This is where both Chris and I work. We have done this every year and even though it is cold and we FREEZE most of the time, we just love doing this as a family. After the short concert and the lighting of the Gigantic Tree they have, we try to make a trip to see Santa. This year, only Haylee and Kamryn wanted to go and see him. Im sure that is because Brittany had a friend with here, and Jace and Zak just wanted to stay with Chris and help him move/put things away to help him get home faster. Here are some pictures of the event.


Yes, we are crazy enough to venture out into this mad croud to enjoy some music and lights!


If you look closely, we are all standing in the bottom right hand corner of this picture.


Here are Haylee and Kamryn with Santa. Kam was so excited to go see him. Haylee, she just thought it was weird I think. I dont know why, but you can see it on her face.

I absolutely love this time of year. I hate the cold weather and the snow, but it is so beautiful. The lights and the vision of the Snow and the wonderful crisp smell of winter I love. I love being with family and making new memories and traditions. Im so thankful for where we live and the things that are around us. And Im so So SO Thankful for Chris and the kids. They bring so much joy to my life and I love them so very much.

~~Next Post will hopefully be pictures of Temple Square and the lights. We are really going to do our best to make it this year and TAKE PICTURES!!!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!
