'Tis the Season...

to be busy...Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la!
The first weekend in December we went downtown to see the lights. We met Gavin and Ryan's families at the Kimball and it was great to have Grandma Welling and Aunt Debbie join us this year, which was a treat! Taryn was sick so Kenny stayed home with her. As per tradition, we ate dinner at Crown Burger and then walked to Temple Square. The reflection pond was the highlight this year with the Holy Family in the center. What a memorable night!

After we got the tree up and the house all decorated for Christmas (Thanksgiving weekend), I took the girls to Gardner Village to see the elves that are hidden all over the place. We enjoyed window shopping at the fun shops, getting our free fudge sample, and seeing all the lights and great decorations. The weather was perfect, not too cold. It got us even more excited for Christmas.

We kicked off the Christmas Season a few weeks ago at our Ward party. We had a yummy breakfast with Santa, who Taryn calls "Ho Ho". The girls were excited to see Mr and Mrs Claus and get treats, of course! It was lots of fun!

Everyone of them are darling! It's so fun to see all of the kids!! Thanks for sharing with us! That's the part we miss, is the family and all of the fun!!
