Girls Out

We had our first girl's night out with the girls in the Bartlett family. We went to Terra Mia to eat; the pizza and pasta were super duper yummy. This place is probably one of the best italian restaurants in Utah county. Later we went to see a movie and we had a great time free of kids. =)

SLC here we are

My sweet sister-in-law put our names into a raffle to get tickets to go see the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra with a special presentation from David Archuleta at Temple Square. We got the tickets in the mail a few weeks ago, and I was so excited to go and to have a nice date with my guapo husband!
The traffic was a little crazy but we got to Salt Lake safe and sound. We walked a little through Temple Square and the lights were splendid. I love Salt Lake during christmas. Back to the concert, the stage was beautifully decorated. The music was amazing and inspiring. Oh, I forgot to say they had dancers for the intro song and at the end. It was amazing! Pressident Eyring and President Uchtdorf were at the concert as well. David Archuleta sang many Christmas songs. I love his voice. He is a great example for the youth in our church. David even sang a song in Spanish for all the latinos because he wanted to honor his culture, which was pretty cool I thought. My kids should be that way as well when they are older--happy to be half Peruvian, a quarter Australian, and a quarter American. We had some trouble getting into the theatre, but overal we had a good time with Mike and Suzette in SLC.

Chilling in the backyard

The nice thing about Arizona is that we have lovely weather during the winter time. It is so nice, mid 70s everyday and sunny. Noah & Emma enjoy going outside to play with the chalk and to fill up their bucket with little pebble rocks. They can be entertained outside for hours. I get a lot of things done while the kids are playing.

Ward Christmas Party

Our ward had the Christmas party this year a bit early. I loved it! Christmas season is my favorite. I love feeling the spirit of Christmas. People are kinder, think of others more, and are different during the Christmas season. We enjoyed the Primary program, the food, and the wonderful company. Santa arrived at the church and all the kids had a blast. Noah liked Santa but Emma did not. Hopefully next year she will do better.
