This time of year is why we have January. We're going to need it to recover from all the Christmas festivities! This morning, we all traipsed through the snow to Coco and Bill's house to see what they brought the kids from Paris. They shopped all over and came home with an adorable outfit for each kid. What fun to have something special from so far away! Thanks, Coco and Bill!
This afternoon we descended on Roland and Sarah's beautiful new house for dinner and the King kids' gift exchange. Since 5 of the 9 kids are ours, we included Tricia in the exchange to even out the Dopp/Non-Dopp ratio. She and Golda gave to each other while the rest of the adults sat out the gift marathon this year. I appreciated being able to concentrate my attention on the kids, who are much easier to buy for than adults! After gifts, we bundled up and braved the crowds at Temple Square to admire the lights. It is beautiful and there is a peaceful spirit there. Great idea for a new family tradition, Sarah. We forgot the hot cocoa, though! We had gifts waiting on our doorstep when we got home and more fun to look forward to tomorrow. 'Tis the season!

I want to go see the lights so much... but my waddle isn't getting me as far a field as I'd like to go these days.
Paris sounds like it was fabulous!
That was a lot of fun! I think its a good tradition to start. Alex LOVED his blanket, he even slept with it! I thought about the hot chocolate as soon as we got home. Oh well, there is always next year. The lights were beautiful! Love you guys!
