Its the Most Wonderful Time of the year!

Monday night we headed downtown to look at the lights on Temple Square. We actually started off walking down to the Grand America hotel to see the Gingerbread forest and to look at all of the (not so impressive) Candy Windows. We had fun looking around that BEAUTIFUL hotel though. Later, we met up with our Sorenson cousins at Temple Square and saw all of our daddy's hard work. It is always such a great night to look at the lights. Zach and his Sorenson cousins

This is the color without the flash Zach and mommy at the reflecting pool Last week our church had 2 Christmas parties. One was a nice dinner for the adults, and the other was a Breakfast with Santa. Zach was quite excited to see Santa. We invited Papa to come with us, and we all had a fun morning eating a yummy breakfast. Look at the smile on his face, he was
so happy to be telling Santa about the garbage truck he wants! I love the boots with his jammies. that is so my Zach right now!

All the kids were singing songs waiting for Santa to come.

At the Santa Parade with our Arthur cousins. It was a CCCCCCold morning.

We have had some impressive snow storms lately. Zach loves to play out in the snow, eat snowballs, throw snowballs, go sledding down our front yard and basically anything that has to do with getting his snow clothes on and playing outside in it. The only thing we have yet to do is build a snowman, and that won't be too far away with all the snow we got yesterday. One day we were having a bit of cabin fever, so we went outside to play. After awhile he said he needed to take a rest, so I made him a little couch to sit on and he sat there and ate his snowball.

So happy to be outside eating a snowball! Macey playing in the snowLook how deep it was, this wore him out. We made trails all around the backyard, then made snow angels.
