We decided to try something new this year and head over to the Grand Hotel for their Christmas scavenger hunt. You look through each window to find a star and it eventually leads you to this enormous gingerbread house... (and yes, it is made of real gingerbread, frosting and candy!)
The kids thought it was great and insisted we find each and every star. What was an even bigger hit, however, was the new toy store in the hotel. It was the cutest little shop and we all could have played for hours. Here is the Curtis gang in front of one of the many trees and a couple of the windows...
We were excited to meet up with Rob and Jesse and their boys. Roman and Capri cannot get enough of them! Here are the boys:
And the entire Curtis Clan (minus Richard who had left us for a date-and that's ok!):
We always wonder if getting the kids bundled up, driving through the traffic and dealing with the crowds is worth seeing the lights. When my kids talk about seeing the temple and lights days later, I know it was!
Once we were done at the hotel, we headed over to Temple Square for our annual trip to see the lights. They were incredible as always and my kids especially appreciated the big red tree. They also loved the reflecting pond with the many floating candles and nativity. I loved that the twins were old enough to understand what the nativity and the Christmas season was all about.
