While we were in St. George the second weekend of December for my sister's violin performances we visited my mom's grandma.

 

Saturday Christmas Time Activities

In the morning we went to The Festival Of Trees and had a great time seeing the trees and my sister perform.

In the afternoon we went to the Christkindlmarkt.  Even though it was insanely crowded we still loved having some Stroop Wafels.

In the evening we went to the Genesis Christmas party.  I even got to talk to Santa.

 

Temple Open House

 

With my older sister at home with a cold the four of us went to the Orem Temple Open House the day after Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving

Because of some sickness with other extended family members, Thanksgiving ended up being us with just Grandma.  We had a great time together playing games and having Thanksgiving Dinner.

 

My Afternoon Tea Time Birthday Present

For my birthday present, we went to the Grand America Hotel in Salt Lake yesterday for Afternoon Tea (We all had hot chocolate).  I had an amazing time!

The outside gardens were already decorated for Christmas.

 

Happy Halloweeen

All Ready to trick-or-treat

My Birthday Celebration

My birthday celebration last week started out with a donut breakfast

and lunch from McDonald's.

I got to go to Jaker's with a friend for the afternoon.

One of my birthday presents is to go to "Afternoon Tea" with mom and dad only to The Grand America.

Happy Birthday!

Our Fall Break Over Nighter

Thursday we drove to Southern Utah and spent the afternoon at Goblin Valley State Park.  It was so fun climbing everywhere.

 

Friday morning we did our most adventurous hike yet--Cassidy Arch at Capitol Reef National Park.  We were all exhausted afterward, but loved the hike.
