Temple Square Fun...

Brandon (my oldest brother), Leah (his wife), and all their kids came to visit just before Christmas. (I know this post is out of order since I already posted about Christmas. :) ) We had a great time together. One of the coolest things to do during Christmas time in Utah is go to the lights that are at Temple Square downtown Salt Lake City. It is AMAZING how beautiful of a job they do putting the lights on the trees. It is one thing that is FOR SURE to give me Christmas Spirit. There is such a feeling of love, peace, and joy just walking around Temple Square. It really makes me contemplate the true meaning of Christmas.

So Brandon and Leah and the kids got here last Saturday. There were 2 things on their list of things to do that day.....eat pizza from "The Pie" (it's this AMAZING pizza place that is right on the University of Utah campus) and go to Temple Square to see the lights. Even though it was FREEZING cold....we all wanted to be apart of it! However...instead of eating at the pizza place...we picked it up and took to the KeyBank tower downtown (where Brian has his office) and ate in one of the boardrooms there. It was a FABULOUS idea because the kids were able to run around, we had plenty of room, and we were able to be together as a family.


The kids had a great time drawing on the white board with all the colorful markers.

Look at this pizza. It is HUGE!!! That is my oldest brother's hand that I had him put over the pizza so you can tell how big that pizza is. This one pizza fed 8 adults and 4 kids. Plus we had leftovers. It's SO HUGE!!!





Some pics from some chair races we had there. The kids LOVED it!

While we walked to Temple Square...these two cutie cousins held hands. Lexy is such a good big cousin. She's so good with young kids.

My whole fam together.

Sweet Kaylee. I love this picture of her.
