Temple Square Lights

Last Night we took a trip up to temple square to see the lights.  It was freezing, as expected, but besides the cold it was a lot of fun!  I am sure most have you have been up there to see the lights and walk through the grounds and visitor's center, so I won't explain everything, but I will say this, even with the hustle and bustle of the crowds you could still feel the spirit.  So if you haven't gone, go now!  We stopped at JCW's on the way home for some yummy food!  Below are some pictures of the night.  

Hope you all have a Merry Christmas!

Dan and me.  Of course the temple is not really greenish.  If we took a pic without the flash the temple looked great, but you couldn't see us, and if we took one with the flash the temple looked like that.

We were taking pictures of our selves when a guy offered to take a group picture for us.  We hesitated just for a second because we were surprised that someone would just offer without us asking, but he started joking with us "that is was because he was black." (Even though he didn't look black, more like poly to me lol).

Chey's such a goofball

27



My husband is now 27, but ssshhh! Don't tell him that.  He is in denial.  He was forced to face the fact that he is now in his "late twenties" (his words).  I keep telling him it's not how old you are, but how old you act that is important ;)

It was also Sue's birthday on December 2nd, so we went to Brickoven to celebrate as a family, and afterwards we went to Payson to hang out and visit.  Dan's parents got him a new duck hunting jacket (duck hunting is Dan's newest hobby.  More on that to come).

Saturday December 3rd was Dan's actual birthday.  I got him a new golf bag.  It's something he has been wanting for a long time, but didn't feel justified in spending the money on it for no reason...what better reason that his birthday!  With some help from Dan's friend Ben, I found the perfect bag.  Dan loves it!  Saturday we spent the day relaxing which is just what Dan wanted, and then we to dinner with some friends. 

I think age only makes Dan more attractive, and I love him even more every day.  I can't express enough how much he means to me, and I am so thankful he is a part of my life!  So, with that said, here are some pictures of the fun:

He was so excited to fill it up with all his golfing stuff!

Free fried ice cream is worth getting sung to!
