Asher's school events were fun. We took a field trip to Old Town to eat at the High Noon Restaurant and peruse the plaza to see all the Christmas decor there. Fun! His amazing teacher also put together a whole Christmas concert. Getting twenty 5 year-olds to sing and perform for 45 minutes must've been quite a feat, but somehow she pulled it off.
Our trip to Utah was fun, as always. We went to Temple Square and saw the lights for the first time in a few years. Our kids were in awe, even in the frigid temps. Brrrr. When we were kids, we re-inacted the nativity most years, and this was our first attempt with all the little cousins. Hilarious, is all I can say. The 'donkey' aka rocking horse gave the kids a chance to pretend they were in a rodeo; at least that's what it looked like. It was extra fun having all the cousins around! Only my sister, Laurie and her family weren't there(and they were missed). Our one hiccup of the trip was getting Beck's new bike home. Yowser, that wasn't fun. We almost left it there and figured we'd just buy one when we came home, but in the end we lucked out. I guess the Southwest baggage guys had some mercy and decided not to toss some kid's new Christmas toy headlong into the pile of suitcases. A Christmas Miracle, I say. Next time, we may have to let Santa know we'd like the gifts delivered to our house when we are out of town.
