Salt Lake City Take 2

    Temple Square
    We headed to Salt Lake once again for some family time.  This time we went with Zach's family.  It was a crazy Friday with Kabree having school, Zach having work projects to finish up and Jessi doing nails all before we could leave but we made it.
 

The girls were fascinated by the model of the temple 
    A long day, crazy traffic, crappy parking, not meeting up with Zach's family...all worth it so we could do the one thing Kabree asked to do this weekend, see Christ!  In this busy world, in the excitement of the season, in the stress of work parties and family time I was near tears watching my beautiful girls stare in reverent awe at our Savior.  I was humbled as we stood in line to see the Christus and my heart bursting with pride as I watched Kabree patiently, never a complaint of the long line, waiting.  "Mom I can't wait to see Jesus again someday!  I can't wait for the second coming!"  This girl is always reminding me what truly matters in this life....my beautiful little family and our relationship with Christ.
     Seriously not a great quality picture but a camera could never have captured the spiritual experience our family had, our girls at Christs feet asking if they could touch him and if he could hear them.  We have been blessed with many family spiritual moments and Kabree has had countless ones she has shared but how many can you take a picture of to remember : ).
  
Discovery Gateway Children's Museum
    Saturday we slept in and enjoyed breakfast with everyone in the hotel, then we headed off to the Discovery Gateway Children's Museum.  WOW is all I can say about this place!!!  The kids had a blast!!!

 Operating room

    We LOVED the Discovery Museum!  It was perfect for our girls!  We got there shortly after they opened so there wasn't that many people there either!  The girls loved all of it and could have stayed all day but favorite part was the huge ball area, they had tons of tubes and games to send the balls through.  (no pictures because Mommy and Daddy were having too much fun playing too)  They also loved the puppet show, and Kabree was sooo excited they picked her to come and help at the end of the play to be Baby Bell and play Jingle Bells.  We had such a great weekend with family and feel so blessed to live close enough to spend time with each other.  Thank you Grandpa Gary and Grandma Sally for the fun weekend, we loved it!

Christmas Dance Recital

    
    We got to watch this Beauty perform "Where are you Christmas" for her Christmas Dance Recital 
She did such a great job and is LOVING her dance teacher Ms. Rachel


    We lucked out and Hanna and Kabree performed in the same show! 

    Kabree had such a fun day today!  Hanna and Kabree got to go to Bella's birthday party, enjoy crafts and games and then headed to their dance recital.  Kabree was so excited to perform today and was even more excited that her Grandpa Gary, Grandma Sally and Grandma JoAnn were all able to come watch.  After the show everyone met up at Kabree's favorite place The Mandarin House.  The girls did great and we feel so lucky we got to spend the day with friends and family!

O Christmas Tree

    Oh how we love to pick out our Christmas tree...lucky for us Fred Meyer has some pretty great ones and we don't even have to bring a saw ; )

   When you're in the middle of all the trees you would never even know you are actually inside ;)
   Sooooo as you can guess poor Zach would love to grab a permit and go hiking up into the mountains to choose our perfect tree but poor Zach is surrounded by a house of girls!  We love the smell of the real tree but we are very content to find our real tree at a tree lot!
 Zach on light duty
   Keagan thought the lights were fire and kept trying to blow them out : )
Helping with the Christmas village 
 Kabree wanted to be in charge of the Nativity
Kabrees favorite part...putting the star on 



    As you can see there was not pictures of the actual decorating of the tree.  Lets just say KeKe is at a super fun age and we will leave it at that ; )!!!
