Christmas! Part 2

Monday was another day chock full of Christmas fun!  First we went to Gardner village to wander and to do an Elf Scavenger hunt.


Searching for the correct clue to match this elf.


It was quite cold that day, so we were all bundled up. 




Matt and Vanessa found the elf with the mistletoe!

Nani got some kisses, too! 

J-man loves Star Wars, especially Darth Vader. 


After lunch and naptime, we headed down town to check out City Creek Mall, eat dinner, and see the lights at Temple Square.




We ate at the Garden Restaurant on the top floor of the Joseph Smith Memorial building.



They had a mailbox for sending letters to Santa, and J-man added a last minute gift.  A Star Wars movie, naturally.  I told him I didn't think he liked Star Wars, but he assured me he did.

After dinner, it was time to see the lights! 





The boys loved the little fountain show at City Creek mall. 



Tuesday, we had planned to go down to do a Polar Express in Heber, but it snowed again, and the roads were closed to vehicles without tire chains.  We were all a little bummed.  Matt and Vanessa were headed out that day, so they were able to leave a little early, which was good for their travel, but sad for us.  

Matching Christmas T-shirts helped us feel better.



And just check out that beautiful snow-covered tree!



We also did our own Polar Express in the living room with mixed results.


One more family picture (using my fancy new tripod) before they leave!
