On Saturday, Dec. 12 Bret and I got to go on our first date in forever and he was a sweetie and took me to see the movie New Moon. Then we picked the kids up at my parent's house and we all jumped in the van (including grandma and grandpa) and went to see the Festival of Lights in Spanish Fork.
On Monday, Dec. 14 we went to Dustin and Crystal's to celebrate Crystal's birthday. They always make us yummy homemade scones and we just all enjoyed visiting while the cousins played.
On Thursday, Dec. 17 we had a fun family evening with dinner at Sweet Tomatoes and then rode the Trax train up to temple square and saw the lights. We haven't taken the kids since Xander was tiny. I can't decide whether they liked the lights of the train better. But they were in awe of it all. Christopher enjoyed talking to a couple of sister missionaries. One was from Brazil and one was from Hong Kong. Xander truly impressed the sister from Hong Kong when he counted to 10 in chinese. She says his pronounciation was great! They also enjoyed all the pictures in the visitors centers. Bret walked us over to the temple and showed the kids the spot where he proposed to me. It was a truly fantastic day that I will remember always. I hope the kids do, too.
On Sunday, Dec. 20 we went to Jenny's to celebrate Kayla's 11th birthday. The kids really enjoy this season when we get to spend so much time with family.

Everyone loved the "red tree". This is a really big tree that is done up in red lights every year.
