Christmas Lights

I love Christmas lights!!!  This year we planned to go to Temple Square with the Bentley's, Nat and her kids, and Chris' Mom. Plans changed because is was so cold and super windy...not fun conditions to be walking around in. Instead Chris and I hopped in the car, grabbed some Christmas music and hot chocolate and went to Thanksgiving Point. We got to see tons of Christmas lights without getting out of the car.  

This is a Kinetic Ice Sculpture...it was really cool in person.

At the very end they had the Christmas Story, illustrated by Simon Dewey, along with the words from The Nativity (from the Children's Songbook). It was so neat to end it all with the beautiful paintings and a wonderful reminder of what Christmas is really all about.

Birthday Dinner

We celebrated Chris' special birthday...12-12-12...by going to Rodizio Grill. Thank goodness for birthday deals! It was so yummy! I'm almost glad it costs so much otherwise I would want to go there all the time! Special occasions like this make it so much fun though!

 Satisfied Birthday Boy!

Chris ended up having 3 birthday dinners and a birthday lunch...what a spoiled husband...but it sure was fun!

Real Food...sort of

We tried feeding Lincoln rice cereal for the first time and it was quite the adventure! Not much stayed in his mouth but he sure seemed to enjoy it!

First Snow

Whenever we take a picture with Lincoln I feel like we have the same conversation that goes something like this...

Me: "Okay Lincoln, try and smile this time"

Lincoln: "I dare you to make me"

Oh well, the pictures are still cute. He just likes to put on his tough boy face.

He rolls!!!!!

The first time he rolled over I got it on video and was so excited!!! Now that he knows how to roll he won't stop. Here is just a little video of his new trick
