In case you didn't know, I LOVE the whole Christmas season. I love the sights, sounds, spirit and festivities. Sammy and I were fortunate enough to take part in a lot of pre-Christmas activities that helped us get into the holiday spirit.
If you live in Utah, visiting Temple Square for the Christmas lights is a must each December. We headed up to Salt Lake with our good friends Whitney and Scotty. We had a fun stop at The Pie for some yummy pizza then had a great time wandering around ooh-ing and ahh-ing at the lights.
Another highlight was hosting the Cheetah Christmas Party. Each year we draw names for a gift exchange and gather for a jolly time together. All the ladies came, brought food to share and had fabulous time.
Another weekend Sam and I had the wonderful opportunity to attend the Mormon Tabernacle Choir concert with David Archuleta. We brought along Sam's grandma, Kenna Faye, and all three of us loved the evening! The choir was great and David Archuleta was outstanding! We even grabbed a little hot chocolate after the show which is always a must with Christmas activities.
Lastly, Sam and I decided to break up our drive down to AZ and stopped for a night in Las Vegas. We spent a little bit of time wandering around the strip; I loved the Christmas decor in the Bellagio.
We made it safely to AZ. We have loved seeing our families and celebrating Christ's birth. More posts to come (and since Santa Sam bought me a new camera for the holiday the new pics will be much better quality!).
