Christmas Fun in Utah!

I can't believe a month has passed since we last posted our Blogg.

Dave and I are both in snowy Utah, and "Baby, it's cold outside!" We're not used to this, and we're both way too thin for these cold temperatures. It's going to be a hard transition when we finally decide to move back.

I left my camera in Saudi when I first came at the beginning of December, and hence, no fun clips. Andrea stole my few pictures of our wonderfully fun Mother/Daughter week-end, and posted them first. So I won't bore you with them again. . . . But, it was a great time! We started the fun with some "kitty hunting". Andrea and Ryck have been thinking about getting a new addition to their family. We checked out a cat lady in Eagle Mountain that had a "cattery" filled with hybrid cats that looked like domestic leopards and tigers -- but little, like a cat. Very cool!



We buzzed up to Park City to strole old Main Street. The shops were fun, and we bought some Chriatmas Ornaments. We enjoyed the movie "Australia" with Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman. We made pretty Christmas wreaths, and played games. Real prizes for winning were awarded. Of course we shopped! We took in the Nordstrom's Rack, and Barnes and Nobel along with a few other places. The Tiafoon Restaurant was really good eating at the Gateway shoping center. I wish I had a picture of the snow. It was really beautiful! The old Christmas movie, "Beyond Christmas" was fun to watch in our suite. On Sunday morning, we enjoyed the Christmas Concert at the Conference Center with Brian Stokes Mitchell, an award winning Broadway star, and Edward Herrmann who is well known as a TV actor. It was very uplifting, and enjoyable. Dave joined us for this event.

Last Night we went to Temple Square to see the Christmas Lights. Again, it was Soooooo Cold! We listened to the Utah Valley Children's Choir in the Assembly Hall. They were very good, and the Spanish Fork HS Choir sang in the South Visitors Center.



We send our best Christmas Greetings! What a wonderful time of year! (Even though it's cold!)

Hi there! I'm sorry. I didn't mean to "steal" your pictures. Feel free to post them again. Once is nice and twice is better. The lights at temple square look nice... one of these years we want to bring our kids down to check that out. Maybe we'll wait a couple more years for global warming to curb the temperatures. :)
