Enjoying it While We Can

Since this is our last Christmas in Utah, Jason and I decided to try to make the most of it by going to as many of the Christmas events at Temple Square that we could. I think we did pretty well. We were able to start the season out by attending the play Savior of The World. We've seen it before, but for some reason this time was even better. For those who haven't seen it, it's wonderful. It tells the story of the Savior's birth and his Resurrection. It is well done and such a great reminder of what Christmas is all about. Following that, we went to the first presidency Christmas devotional, which was amazing, as always. The last thing we went to was the Mormon Tabernacle Christmas Concert. They sang with the Orchestra on Temple Square as well as with two guest performers. It was awesome!! There were some amazing numbers including an organ solo of "Go Tell It On The Mountain". We absolutely loved it. We truly are going to miss all the things that Utah has to offer. We are also going to miss family greatly when we move. We've been so blessed to live so close to many of our siblings and love having them near.











Better Late Than Never

I actually forgot that I took a few pictures on Thanksgiving, so here they are. A bit late, I know. I figure since it's not Christmas yet, they are still fair game. We had a great dinner with Kevin, Charisa and their family as well as Falycia and Kirk. Here's Sam enjoying his yummy roll- what a cutie!

Emma had to fight Uncle Jason for the HUGE drum stick and it looks like Emma won. She thoroughly enjoyed it! Go Emma!

The Wasson clan eating Thanksgiving dinner! Mmm mmmm.

Falycia, Kirk, Jason, Charisa and Kevin carving the turkey and making the last preparations! It was the first time Jason and I have hosted a Thanksgiving dinner and it was great! Thanks for coming everyone!
