Christmas Festivities

Last night Xango had a 'Reindeer Roundup' for the kids. They had some crafts to do, pizza, cookies, and hot chocolate, pictures with Santa (we missed this but did get a picture of our boys on Santa's chair :), carriage rides (another thing we missed), a viewing of The Grinch, and a visit from Santa who brought them a stocking filled with toys. Fun! Kev mostly helped the boys while I sat at his desk to finish a photo book of Asher I had to have submitted yesterday. So it was mostly my fault we missed out on some of the fun but I think the boys were happy with what they got to do.
Don't be fooled...that's not the moon, but a snowflake!!
Since we were halfway there we decided we'd make a night of it and go up to Temple Square. Tami and her family were going, too, so we hoped to meet up with them. Our paths crossed once so we chatted for a bit and then each continued on our way. We also saw my friend Mindy and her family up there. They were just leaving as we were getting there but it's always fun to see familiar faces :)
My boys!!
Not too thrilled to be in the stroller. But he was content :)

I sure do love this kid!
Happier to be out of the stroller but too bundled up to smile :)


As always, the lights were gorgeous! And of course the temple was stunning. I love to be there at Christmas time with all the other people, just enjoying the peaceful feeling. It was a great holiday night!
