ready or not!... and christmas time with the grands

we were all pleased as punch that krista drove up with the kids from california this past week. we were sad to miss ryan--the working man had to work.

~we baked & decorated cookies~

 opting for a warmer version of seeing some lights, we drove over to thanksgiving point.  what a beautiful display of all sorts of lighted shapes!  as we preceded to the gate to pay, we were told that the car in front of us paid our way in....ahhh, that christmas spirit in full force....

 after the drive through, we went inside for a little treat.  bay shared a sundae with the little ones and krista went for the hot chocolate float.

now, krista and her crew are back home awaiting santa's big visit-- pretty exciting for them as they just moved into their first home. it is beautiful! hopefully krista will blog all about it in the near future.

we are ready around here.
tonight it will be temple square to see more lights and more hot chocolate.
~and a little surprise we have in store for the homeless you always see~
then home for soup and a devotional, reading luke 2.
following that we will exchange gifts and settle down for the night.

merRy, MerrY ChRisTMaS!
