Trax






We rode on Trax downtown and Riley & Sunny absolutly LOVED it! When the train started to move, they smiled SO big! We went downstairs in the Temple Square Visitor Center. Riley was looking at all of the Book of Mormon's and Bibles that are translated in many languages. He also wanted to get a picture with Joseph Smith. It is so amazing to me that the Gospel is in so many languages and available to so many people. I am so blessed to have the knowledge of the Gospel and to have the Book of Mormon at my fingertips.

Family Home Evening






We took our little family to Temple Square for Family Night last night. Riley and Sunny had never been to see the Christus on Temple Square, so it was really neat for Riley to see Jesus for the first time. He said to me, "Mom, how come Jesus won't talk to me?" I told him that it was just a statue to help us remember him. He said, "but I want him to talk to me." I told Riley that we can talk to Jesus when we say our prayers. It was really neat to walk around to see the gorgeous lights and to talk about the Gospel to our 2 young kids! Sunny was in awe as she sat on Regan's shoulders and took in all of the lights, people and sights!

The Festival of Trees




We went to the Festival of Trees at the Expo Center for our Joy School Field Trip. The boys I think were overwhelmed by all of the trees, gingerbread houses and displays! Riley wanted to touch everything, even if that meant he had to go under the rope!

Finally:SNOW!






Riley & Sunny were So excited when it snowed last week! It took forever to bundle them all up, and then we headed outside. I pulled Riley, Sunny and Riley's friend Jaxson up and down our icy street and they just loved it. I think Sunny looks so cute in her red, black and white snow ensemble. On December 1st, the kids got to start wearing their new Christmas Pajamas and Slippers. They looked so cute in their coordinating jammies that I just could not help but take some pictures!
