Opening presents with the girls

While the girls were down for the Polar Express 

we had our Christmas with them too!
Below are pictures of them opening their presents from us.

I totally forgot to take pictures of the stockings that Santa filled on his special early stop to our house for the girls :( 

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Bessies 7th Birthday!

After the Polar Express we went back to 

Dawns for some soup and birthday Cake!
Bessie LOVED being sung too 

and eating her awesome cake!
 

We sure love this big 7 year old!

Happy birthday Bessie!

The North Pole Express

The Saturday before Christmas Dawn treated the 

whole Smith family to a ride on the North Pole Express 

(The Heber Creeper)

 

While on the North Pole express 

we looked out windows...
 

 

 Drank Hot chocolate... 

Ate cookies...

Sang Carols
 

Saw Santa outside waving

The we got to see Santa on the train 

and he gave everyone a bell!

Thanks Dawn for all the awesome memories!

Temple Square!

We decided to take Sunday evening and go to Temple Square.
We missed last year and were determined to go this year!
Trent has been working like crazy so it was really good to

 spend some time with him and all of us as a family!

Livvy LOVED the lights! It was so cute! 

She kept saying "ight! ight!" and pointing!
She got the best view from Daddy's shoulders.

Owen loved the lights too but he loved seeing the Temple even more.

When we were walking up to the lights I said to him 

"Look at all the lights Owen!" 

for which Owen responded

"Look Mommy I see the Temple! It is so pretty!"
I Love this kid and his love for the Temple!

They both loved the 

reflection pool and the fountains.  

 Here is Owen throwing his fit because he didn't want to leave,

 this picture makes it look like he fell asleep out on the street.

 Made me giggle  hahahahaha

It was so great!
