GIngErBrEad HoUSEs anD ChRisTmAs LigHts

Our family got together with some good friends the Schwabs' 

and made Gingerbread houses over the Holidays!! 

We had a blast and had some good food 

and lots and lots of candy!! 

The kids had a lot of fun building their

 houses and eating all the candy and frosting.

The men had a lot of fun being creative 

and using their imaginations.

 They came up with different things to put on their houses.... 

they had a flag, a bike rider, double doors, 

mail boxes and very sturdy roofs. 

Needless to say, they were very proud of their houses 

and actually did a really good job!!

Thanks Schwab Family for a fun-filled night!!

Temple Lights

Our little family also had the opportunity 

to go to the Salt Lake Temple to see the temple lights. 

We went with two of  Nate's sisters and their spouses. 

This was my first time seeing the temple grounds during the holidays. 

It was a cold night, but worth it because of all the 

beautiful Nativity scenes throughout the grounds and all the lights.

 We also got to go inside the visitor's center which the kids have never done before. Trey and Brookelyn got to see the statue of the Savior

 and it was neat because Trey pointed to the 

statue and said "Jesus".... it was very sweet.
