Christmas in Utah

This is the first part of our trip visiting family in Utah. At the Mexico City Airport we ran into Santa and his elves. Santa spoke in Spanish and then English, wished them a Merry Christmas and a fun plane ride. Then the elves gave the kids Santa paper to write their Santa letters. After writing their letters they mailed them in the special mail box the elves had. They each got a bag of candy. What a way to begin our trip.
When we arrived in Utah it was quite cold but we hoped that some snow would come to warm things up a bit. Out of the two and a half weeks we were there it only snowed two days. I was surprised a how much our bodies had gotten use to the weather in Mexico. At least the buildings, homes, and cars are heated.
The next set of Pictures are of us in SLC to see the lights. Then of Christmas Eve and Christmas Morning. Carol Ann and Arvin Leishman let Santa leave the presents for the kids at their home. Santa was quite noisy, grandma said. We had a wonderful Christmas.

Salt Lake City

On Saturday, December 27 we took Marissa, Rachel, Joshua, and McKayla (cousin) to Salt Lake City to see a concert, Savor of the World at the Conference Center. We drove to Ogden and got on the Front Runner Train. It was fun to hang out and visit, not having to deal with traffic. Then we hopped onto trax to go to Temple Square. The concert is wonderful and we think everyone should go at least once to experience it. Afterwards we walked around listening to other concerts and seeing the lights. We ate dinner at Rodizio Grill, soooo good. Then heading home we rode on trax and front runner. It was a fun Saturday.
