This weekend was just full of Christmas celebrations! Friday night, we decided last minute to check out the Festival of Trees. I had heard of it, but didn't know it was a Primary Children's fundraiser until that day, and we wanted to give a little back :). So I loaded the girls up in the freezing weather, picked up Lance from work, and set out for some fun! We had a wonderful time. Saw some cool trees, ate some good treats, and got a few little last-minute gifts. And took no pictures. But it was worth braving the cold!
Friday afternoon, we stopped by a nursery holiday open house nearby. They had a live camel and reindeer! So cool!
We decided this one was Vixen. Reagan asked him to say hi to Rudolph. She is obsessed with Rudolph right now and can sing the entire song, word-for-word, on her own.
They also had face painting.
Then, Saturday night, we met Lance's mom and sister on Temple Square to eat dinner and see the lights. If we thought it was cold on Friday, we didn't anymore. It was FREEZING! We were stumbling around in blizzard weather trying to squeeze out eyes open enough to see the lights. I think Daryn was the only warm one. She actually fell asleep. I'm assuming it was sleep and not hypothermia :).
We thawed in the Visitor's Center before walking back to the car.
We enjoyed the Christmas Devotional on Sunday, and Monday for FHE we made a rice krispy house! So much easier than gingerbread. It was a smashing success! Then we ate it.
And to show you how merry the weekend really was, here a snapshot of how our girls spend their time.
