A Holly Jolly Winter 2009

The holidays are one of our favorite times of the year, and despite the hustle and bustle of shopping, decorating the home, card making, and party-going, we truly enjoy all of the traditions we have created as a family. I am so grateful for an amazing daughter who allows me to see Christmas through the eyes of a child. Watching her takes me back to all of my cherished childhood memories and I am grateful for that.
"Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories and love of kindred, and we are better throughout the year for having, in spirit, become like a child again at Christmas". -Author unknown
Here are some highlights...


Our yearly tradition of dining at The Roof restaurant (Mmm... one
of my favorites!) and visiting Temple Square
