On Friday night we went to a hotel in Salt Lake. The next morning we got to go to Thanksgiving Point and have breakfast with Santa. We wore our pajamas, sat with Santa, and did different activities. The Grinch was there too. He is in the picture up above.
This is Alex, Lane, and I with Santa. Lane is asking for a ....a orange horse. He was kind of scared of Santa at first but he finally told him.
Mrs. Clause gave us reindeer food to put out on the lawn on Christmas eve.
There were activities for us to do. One of them was making Grinch masks! This is Laninch, Alexinch, and Madisinch.
There was a big, soft, furry polar bear walking around hugging the children. He was cozy!
We got to stay overnight in a hotel. This is us loving the warm hot tub as it snowed outside! My dad challenged us to run outside and sit in the snow, then put our face in the snow too. We all did it (except mom and Lane). We would come inside and jump in the hot tub....oh ya!
In the night we went to Temple Square to see the pretty lights. Here we are standing in front of a big tree with a billion white lights. I wonder how long it took to put them up. I bet my dad would like to put up those lights! Heee Hee! Or maybe even my Grandpa would like to help.
There was a lot of clear water fountains running through Temple Square. I thought they were really pretty and looked good with all the colored lights.
This was one of my favorite scenes. It was the temple with lots of orange and yellow lighted trees.
This is us standing under a big tree with red lights.
This picture shows how the red lights glowed in the night. It was beautiful.
We had a lot of fun in Salt Lake. If you get the chance you should go see the lights. It puts you in the Christmas spirit.
Merry Christmas!
This year for the Reflections contest the theme was "BEAUTY IS..." I had started to like tigers so my Dad and I went online to look at a picture of a tigers face. Then for Reflections I looked at the tiger we found and added its body. Then painted it and...TA DA! It was called, Beauty is a Tiger's stripes." I put black glitter on the black stripes. Oh and you know I usually make fun of my grandpa...well, he did the mat board around the picture, so I guess I owe him a big THANKS! 
Alex also won. He painted and cut a picture of himself catching a Rainbow Trout. Good Job AJ! 
It was fun that we both won.
