Evening in the Cold

Our family enjoyed a chilly evening out to watch Landon sing with his middle school choir at the Celebration of the Lights. It was a fundraising event at Northside hospital for families of people with cancer. They had booths, games, hot chocolate and little activities for children. The choir sang outside while we waited for the big Christmas tree to be lit on top of the hospital. It had to have been our coldest night yet this season. I was dressed warmly (I thought) with my coat, gloves, and scarf. After waiting outside in the cold for a while, I was cold, right down to my toes. I can't remember the last time I felt that kind of cold. The site of the fireworks display after the tree-lighting kind of warmed us up for. Fireworks in December is a rare treat, you know.

Dinner was a necessity when we left the event so off to our favorite Mexican restaraunt, Monterrey. We haven't been there for a while and the kids always enjoy eating there. My boys are definitely getting bigger because it was the highest bill we have ever had at our little Mexican eatery. mmmm....I guess my kids have graduated from the kiddie menu and are eating the expensive stuff now.

Landon eyes his beautiful chip dipped in warm cheese dip.

Easton is still goofing off with his glowstick that he got at the Celebration of the Lights. Check out Dallin's "almost smile". We're working on that!
