Christmas Events...On Steriods

Sophie's 10th birthday with a new pet!
A Bearded Dragon
... And of course a...
"Just Like Me" American Girl...
And a special birthday night at the Conference Center's performance,
Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square Christmas Concert with Nathan Gunn and Jane Seymour
... It was beautiful! And to think there were 16,000 people there! Afterwards we stopped for hot chocolate and authentic gelato. YUM. The Lights at Temple Square with family.... This is us at dinner (finally) after a VERY long wait at CPK. Then we took a little ride on Trax to Temple Square, where Spencer suddenly had very sharp pains on his left side, broke down in tears, and couldn't walk an inch. So. We went home, while everyone else went stare in wonder at the beautiful lights. Lucy kept saying, "Where's Temple Square?" I told her to quickly look across the street, because that was as close as we were getting that night. Sigh. Best laid plans, right? Maybe next year... The girls also had their Christmas violin concert. Spencer had his 7th Grade choir concert. Sophie and Grace had their elementary choir concert. Spencer had two ballroom dance performances... Three piano recitals... One Ugly Sweater Christmas Party... An Elementary School "Christmas Sing," Two more elementary ballroom performances by Grace and Sophie. (This was Sophie's first performance and she cracked us up, making sure we were watching her the whole time.) (Sorry, I'm still trying to upload the videos...) And a partridge in a pear tree. Thank goodness for Christmas Break!
