Lights

We went downtown to see the Christmas lights with LaDene. Quinn was so excited to take the train downtown. We first stopped at Grand America to see the lights. It was so great.  First of all, it is indoors!  They had 17 windows and a little scavenger hunt to go along with it. Next, we went to Temple Square.  Quinn loved the lights and the castles. We finished the night at a very busy City Creek.  We probably should have skipped this part and just gotten dinner elsewhere.  Oh well.  It was a very fun, and nice night.  

School Fun

Quinn had a lot of fun doing all the holiday activities at school during the month of December.  We had a lot of snow!   I was lucky enough to get to bring my class down and play with Dreidals with her class. She and the rest of the Kindergarteners did a great job performing their Christmas songs at the holiday sing around.  Quinn and I also made pudding Rudolphs for her class before break.  

Quinn's Christmas Party

We had Quinn's annual kids' Christmas party and fundraiser at Gardner Village again this year.  We had hot chocolate and donuts, plus went on the elf hunt.  We had over 40 people come and filled up the entire Toys for Tot bin at the bank with all our donations.  Dalan was a champion and did most of the work as I was not feeling the best.  Thanks to everyone who came and hunted elves with us and helped make Christmas brighter for both us and needy kids. Oh and it was cold!!!!! 

Festival of Trees

Dalan, Quinn, Patti, and I went to the Festival of Trees.  It was fun, and not as crowded as I had expected, but still packed. We saw a lot of really cool trees, and ate a delicious scone.  The night was  a lot of fun, and a great Christmas tradition!

Halloween at School

Quinn got to walk in her first parade at school. It was such a fun day.  All the upper grade teachers dressed up like Mr. Potato Head.
