We made our annual trip to Temple Square to see the lights.  But this time we went after Christmas, before New Years.  There's a new tram station five miles from our house so we rode the TRAX up to SLC.

 We wandered around Temple Square and took in all the sights!

I love it when the tabernacle is open!  We went in for a quick peak.

I love to see the temple :)

Winter Break

Where's the SNOW???  We're used to getting a ton more during winter break.  So even though we got just a "trace" of snow the girls were headed out to sled... 

...down the driveway!

Now that's resourceful :)

Christmas 2011

Our Christmas was perfect!

We woke up early to see what Santa brought and opened presents before heading out the door to church.  The kids asked Santa for snuggies.  He must have had a hard time finding them, or maybe he thought they were hideous, but they got robes instead and they loved them :)

 

Aaron and I decided to keep Christmas simple and not too extravagant when it came to gifts.  We never go overboard, but we really brought it down a notch this year.  I was really worried the kids would be disappointed, but Aaron made me stick to the list we had agreed on.  I am so glad we did.  The kids were so happy and I had no buyer's remorse.  There was such a feeling of peace in our home!!!
