Shopping, Red Iguana,Temple Square, and Sunday Brunch

We love to go down to Salt Lake and see the lights at Temple Square each December. We can't make the trip any more without eating at the Red Iguana. It is our favorite Mexican restaurant and sometimes we'll eat there 2 or 3 times in a weekend. It is soooo good.

Family Pic

The kids got cold and tired really fast.


This picture was priceless...I loved it.



And then it gets even better. (My kids aren't posers at all!!)


And then even better still!!


Maxxy was loving the horses, but mom wasn't 50 bucks loving them so he didn't get to ride.

The fire pit at Gateway was amazing after we froze at the temple. We got warm, did some shopping, met up with Kona and Jared, and ate lots of junk. Way fun Night!!



Sunday Morning


This is why we get up so early one Sunday each year. We love Sunday Brunch at Little America...Conner can't get enough of the choc. covered strawberries, if you couldn't tell by the picture. He definitely gets his moneys worth just in chocolate and strawberries.


Uncle Cracker obviously goes for the bacon.

The whole fam after stuffing ourselves silly. Ooh but it was soooo worth it.

This is were we found Maxxy hiding out after he got his feel. Wonder what he's doing under there?...

...Brushing his teeth of course. With my tooth brush non the less. If your wondering why I take my toothbrush in my purse...yep it's so I can make it to round 2. Kidding Lexa...I just forgot it at the hotel and had to go back and get it.


The kids got a surprise visitor again and Conner was first to rattle off his list.

Tay got some "Santa Lovin" next and told me that this one was the real Santa.

Maxxy was even happy to see Santa after a little coaxing from Aunt Chalet.


Tanner thought that a DS was worth getting in on the Santa stuff. He bravely asked for his Nintendo and then even smiled for a picture.


We all had fun on our little Trax ride through Salt Lake. I really think the guys enjoyed the waiting the most.

We headed over to the church museum next. We learned that had our family of six headed for America on a boat, this little bunk is where all six of us would have had to sleep. Looks comfy huh? I seriously don't know how they did it.


In the "I Am A Child of God" exhibit we got to dress up like the nativity. The boys didn't even complain...you guys are good sports. That's why we love you so much.


Cody, Tay, and Aunt Chalet had fun at this little stencil table. I think Chalet might have had more fun than the kids.


Cody and Cracker had had enough at this point. They did get some pretty deep conversation going though. It was really fun to learn so much.


This was just a pretty shot of the temple from a window in the museum.


We headed over to the conference center next and the boys loved the fountains.




Too much fun for one weekend. Thanks for the memories everyone, we'll have to do it again next year.
