Christmas Wish

My wish is that everyone is able to sit back and truly enjoy Christmas Day. Enjoy being with your loved ones, and remember why we celebrate Christmas. Merry Christmas.

We had a surprise guest show up at the Collins Christmas party. Emilee was so excited to see Santa.

Temple Square

We had so much fun walking around and looking at the lights this year, even though it was only 9 degrees the night we went.

Festival of Trees

Every year we try to go as a family to the Festival of Trees, an event to help Primary Children's Hospital. We love to walk around and look at all of the amazing trees, wreaths, and gingerbread houses that people donate. Emilee got a little tired towards the middle, so we sat down and ate a treat. We bought some of the scones they sell there. The scone helped Emilee make it through the rest of the trees. She really loved the ones with all of the babies.

Elves Scavenger Hunt

We decided to go to Gardner Village and look at the elves this year. Before we went I found that they were having a scavenger hunt for the little kids. I printed off a list of the elves we needed to find, and off we went. It was so much fun to look for the elves while we were shopping, Emilee really enjoyed seeing Santa's Elves. Once we found them all, we took the list to the Candy store. Emilee was able to choose a candy stick, and of course she went for peppermint, it was pink.
