A Fun Date

This weekend we were blessed to be able to go up to Salt Lake with Rob and Marianne for the annual Mormon Tabernacle Choir Concert. The tickets are very hard to come by, so we really got lucky. Once again, an impressive, wonderful performance! We just loved the voice of the guest performer, Brian Stokes Mitchell. His voice is so versatile and rich. He comes from Broadway, so very fun performances!

Afterwards, we got to enjoy the beautiful Christmas lights on Temple Square. It was a great night!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas....

I still cannot believe that we are now officially in the Christmas season. Time has been flying by! But this is perhaps my favorite time of year, mostly because of the giving spirit and the focus on our Savior Jesus Christ.

I just love Christmas music, and I willingly admit that we have been listening to it for a couple of weeks now. But to start off the season the right way, let me share one of my all time favorite Christmas songs. It is "O Holy Night" performed by the King's Singers and the Mormon Taberbacle Choir. I had the privilege of hearing this rendition performed live last Christmas, and it was just incredible. Please take a few minutes to listen to it.

Sit back, turn up those speakers, and enjoy!

O Holy Night

Good Food and Good Times

We enjoyed a fun Thanksgiving holiday with my family this year. It was nice to have everyone there and just do some relaxing. 

The food was amazing and the company was great!

We ate, played games, 

ate more, went on a brisk walk,

And ate more! 

We even had some shopping fun on Black Friday. The person who left the earliest was Justin (thanks Honey!) who went to ShopKo at 5:00 am for Brandon's Christmas present. As soon as he returned, I left for Target and braved the crowds there. It really is nuts, but we still do it for some reason. Some deals are just too good to pass up! 

Thanks Mom and Dad for a nice break!
