To say that I love Christmas is a very big, very misguided understatement. Christmas is by far my favorite time of year, made all the more special this year by the fact that every thing is new to Spencer and I for example:
 |
| This is our first Christmas Tree |
The Christmas tree was a struggle. We both had different opinions on how it should look. Surprisingly enough, the thing that gave us the most difficulty was the star, we could not figure out how to get that sucker on. We ended up having to stuff it on tip of the tree. Well as it turns out, we were actually missing the part that is able to put it on the tree, for whatever reason that part was missing from the box. To make matters worse we can't even return it anymore because we broke the packaging in order to get the star out. Conclusion: we are just making due with what we've got.
On better new... Spencer and I went went to Temple Square with Jessica and Carlson this past passed Friday. We had so much fun! Temple Square is one of my favorite places in the world (beaten only by Disneyland and the actual Temple).
 |
| Temple Square was absolutely PACKED! We literally had to wait in line to get up the the Jesus Statute. Of course I was going to make Spencer pose for a picture once we finally got up there. |
 |
| When he gets the chance, however, he makes me pose for pictures too. It's only fair I guess |
 |
| Spencer has discovered he loves taking picture. He was sad about this one because he thought that the picture would have been perfect had this not been the only tree that wasn't lit. |
 |
| On top of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building |
 |
| Yes, even the nutcracker is taller than me |
 |
| They literally could not have made this tree bigger, it touched the the chandelier. |
 |
| The whole gang |
Temple Square was actually not the best part of our weekend though... Spencer was selected to compete in a speech competition at Snow College and he made it to the final six so we got to go to Ephraim on Saturday morning were he gave his speech again in front of an audience and a panel of judges. He got 3rd place and I am super proud of him. His speech was awesome! (and I'm not just saying that because I'm married to him.... Judge for yourself)
