1. We put up our Christmas tree together as soon as we returned from Idaho.
2. We hung our stockings and all our trimmings...
3. We went to Spanish Fork's "Festival of Lights" with our good friends, the Stevenson's.
4. We've drank a ridiculous amount of hot chocolate and listened to Christmas songs for hours on end (our favorite albums are by Josh Groban, Michael Buble, the Elf Soundtrack and Glee!).
5. We've baked yummy reindeer cookies (thank you Pinterest).
6. We attended the lighting of the Riverwoods. There were Christmas lights everywhere, Christmas music in the air, ice sculptures, cookies, and Santa!
We're also reading a chapter a day from Luke to remind us of the true reason for it all - Christ. This is something that my old institute teacher (the amazing John Hilton III) started and I've always wanted to implement as a tradition in our home. It has been a wonderful experience so far!
We are so excited for our trip back east (exactly 1 week, 2 days, 9 hours, and 47 minutes till we're on our plane). Yes, very excited. Christmas isn't Christmas without family! 2 more days left of class and then it's time to study, study, study!
Hope you're all enjoying the holiday season so far!
