Some Christmas Spirit and cake

So this weekend I thought that it was about time to take the kids around and get some Christmas spirit.  For our first stop was actually in our home.  I finished putting up the Christmas lights.  And let me tell ya, there is nothing like being on the roof, trying not to fall down and feeling that Christmas spirit!

For our next stop I thought we'd go see some Christmas Trees at the Festival of Trees.  It was pretty cool.  They had around 377 large trees and about 400 small trees all decorated.  There was a long table of probably a hundred or more gingerbread houses of all types.  But I believe the best thing my kids enjoyed was the kids craft corner.  There they were able to do a little fishing, painting ornaments and Sara even got her nails painted (Some of these pics are blurry so sorry about that and don't look to hard because you'll get a headache).

After the trip to see the trees we went to my parents house to have some dinner and celebrate Sara's Birthday!  She's growing up way to fast but I must say she's an awesome kid and way too cute.

After cake, ice cream and presents we went to see the finale with my parents.  Salt Lake City Temple Square lights here we come!  It was a quick drive.  It probably took longer to find a parking spot then to drive there.  We actually were able to find a parking spot right next to the new conference center and Temple Square was right across the street.  It goes without saying that the lights were beautiful.  The kids were definately impressed with the lights and when Sara saw the temple she shouted "Look a castle!".  I think she liked the temple.
