Saydria with Jon Schmidt and his daughter Sarah after the Christmas Carole Sing Along at the EnergySolutions Arena last night. It was so fun! The Utah Jazz Bear even rode out on his motorcycle and shot his confetti gun everywhere, threw t-shirts and other things at the crowd. When we started singing "Here Comes Santa Claus" then of course, Santa came out and kids were running down the stairs from all over the stands to claim their hugs. Jon even played his Love Story to Viva la Vida song, which Saydria was really hoping to hear. Jon's daughter also sang a couple songs solo and she was amazing. So brave!!!
Our family in front of SLC temple. :) We went one evening with Kevin's family and saw the lights, and even got to see Joseph Paur sing. He's the guy from Rigoletto, in case you didn't know. What a treat. We were leaving via Deseret Book and he was standing in there singing for a small audience. Our kids just sat on the floor and we were able to enjoy it all until the end.
The cousins that came to visit! Kevin's parents, his two sisters and their families and also his brother came to visit us. We have a tradition of making gingerbread houses, so here's the kids with their finished creations. It's always a fun activity for the kids (and adults).
This is a picture of all the houses, before they started getting nibbled on. :)
