in LOVE with this idea

I saw this on 1825's blog.

SO DANG CUTE.

Totally doing it.

it's a time capsule!

take yourself a jar.

put a cute little family picture in the front.

then display it somewhere where it's easy to get to.

then... throughout the year drop fun little items that represent your year.

theirs included. movie ticket stubs. a silly band. hospital wrist band. popsicle stick with a joke on it. a yugio card. a "lucky rock" from a vacation. love note. a family business card. and more!

freezing beautiful awesomeness

BEAR LAKE BABY!

After Christmas my entire family went to Bear Lake for a few days and stayed at the Worldmark resort. My parents got each family their own little apartment.

They were so nice!! (my parents, and the rooms! lol)

There was an upstairs with a huge bedroom too...plenty of space.

The cousins all had a blast playing together and us adults had some fun game time, took turns fixing meals, and enjoyed the awesome snow that was plentiful in the mountains!!!!!

Thanks to this dude, JOSH! He brought all his snowmobiles so we could

Par-tay!!!

It was freezing,

but SO FUN.

Kam slept in the car like a bundled marshmallow. It was perfect.

Like I said... it was freezing,

it was sooooooooo beautiful,

it was pure awesomeness!!!!

Temple square

Temple Square has the best showcase of Christmas lights on the planet!! With the glorious beaming light of the temple and the radiant tree's sparkling... it's a breathtaking site to see! My mom took us down Sunday night to walk around and enjoy it's beauty!

inside the visitors center, next to the Christus

This is the old Tabernacle where they used to hold general conference...I remember sitting on those hard benches, with pillars blocking my view! Thank heavens for the new Conference Center!!

I love the SLC temple and walking on the grounds of temple square. It's so so so beautiful!!

The ACTUAL Christmas day!

Somehow Santa still found us in good ol Layton Utah, and delivered a few more gifts! Tanner was super ecstatic. ☺

After bfast we headed down to SLC to spend the day with Landon's fam. Holden, our nephew, is an MJ fan, so we each took turns dancing with the Wii to his songs. It was actually fun!!

We played some other games while the babies took naps...it was super fun! Then we all went bowling!!!!!!!!!!!

We had a nice relaxing, fun filled day!!!
