We finished out the year having a lot of fun. As usual we took our annual trip to Temple Square to see the lights. It was cold but fun as usual. I love wrapping up our Christmas celebration this way.
First we stopped at the Grand America to participate in their window scavenger hunt.
The highlight for Alex is riding trax to the temple.
After stopping for dinner we checked out the candy windows.
Mia stayed snuggled in her stroller.
As we walked we reminisced about Alex's first year seeing the lights. Alex was a almost two months older than Mia at this point but they definitely look like brother and sister. It is fun to compare them. I sure love these sweet babies!
We also gathered together again to have one more "Christmas" dinner and do our ever exciting nativity.
We all dress up and take a part. It never makes much sense but it is a good reminder of why we celebrate this season.
I was a shepherd and Mia was a wiseman.
Alex was baby Jesus and took the part very seriously. He laid quietly the whole time.
King Herod and Delilah
Baby Jesus and the "Star"
Brandon couldn't contain his excitement.
The Angels.
And a Yoda sheep.
Another high quality production.
We finally got some real snow and Alex was excited to get out in it. He was less excited when he realized it is wet and very cold. It was fun while it lasted.
Hot chocolate is always a must after.
A final look at Alex's Advent Lego's. Each day he got to take out a piece. In the end he had quite the collection.
And I can't do a post without a picture of Mia sleeping.
Her waking up faces are my favorite.
2014 was a wonderful year for our family full of blessings. We are so grateful for all we have and that Mia finally joined our family. We can't wait for 2015.
