Its Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas....

Well, maybe its NOT beginning to look at lot like Christmas, but whatever! Christmas season is here, whether it looks like it or not!!

I put up our Christmas tree, and am still debating whether or not to put ornaments on it... maybe just high enough that dog and child cannot reach. But still, Ive been lighting it up anyways, getting at least the inside of my house feeling like Christmas!

Tuesday night we were able to go see the Christmas lights at the Mesa Temple! It was beautiful! Lights EVERYWHERE!!! Although, I do have to admit, its really strange for me to be seeing Christmas lights when Im perfectly comfortable in a light jacket... its just not right!!

Scott was fascinated by the lights, and during the concert they had that evening (a high school choir singing Christmas carols) Scott thought it was awesome when everyone clapped at the end of each number. He's not used to that, and it stopped whatever he was doing every time, so he could watch everyone clapping! Such a funny little guy!

The lights behind us are all crazy, but aside from the fact that my head and Dude's face are being attacked by lights, I liked this family picture! You can see in the back how they put lights on the palm trees... again, weird! :)

The group we went with!! Deni, Joel and Roman; Amy, Michael and Anderson. We had a great time showing them around the place, and getting into the Christmas spirit! Sure they got cornered by a missionary, but hey! Whats a good temple lights trip without a testimony of a young man firm in his faith?! We are looking forward to a month full of Christmas fun, and years and years of traditions to come!! Let the celebrations begin!!
