Holiday Happenings

The Christmas season always seems to go way too fast!  Here are a few of the things we have been up to over the last few weeks.  First Alyse, Annie, and I made our annual visit to see the elves at Gardner Village.  Below are just a few of the fun pictures we took with them.  A sad note is that some Grinch kind of person stole some of their elves.  Who would do that?  We hope they will decide to return them! 

Annie and Alyse attended the Christmas party at their work.  Annie really wanted to win the Christmas sweater contest so she borrowed one of mine and dressed it up with tinsel, lights and snowmen ornaments.  She did make it into the top ten but did not win.  How could that be?  Below are Annie and Alyse in their Christmas finery. 

 

A really special, wonderful event that Kim and I attended with some dear friends was the Christmas concert at the conference center.  We had dinner at the Lion House, then wandered through City Creek Center enjoying the decorations, and fountain show.  Then we walked around Temple Sq. and enjoyed the lights.  Then it was off to the amazing concert.  What a fun evening! Above are the lights, and below is City Creek. 

Last Sat. we attended our ward party up at Camp Tracy.  It is always a beautiful setting! Below are three of my grandchildren and Alyse enjoying the yummy breakfast.

 Below are two granddaughters decorating their gingerbread men. 

Seeing Santa.  April had to be in the picture so Kaitlyn wouldn't scream.

Me with two of my older grandchildren. So glad they could come.

It was such a fun party!  Later in the day we made it to the movie The Hobbit and that was fun too.  Happy Holidays everyone!
