'Tis the Season...

for Christmas lights, dance recitals and Christmas parties!

We ventured out to see the lights at Temple Square early in December before the month got too busy.  It was a nice night, not too cold!  Definitely busy though.  Hannah and I got separated from Jeff and the boys while walking through a big crowd.  It wouldn't have been a big deal if I had my cell phone, but it was with Jeff in the stroller!  Luckily, everyone and their dog has a cell phone and a nice man let me borrow his.  Anyway, once we were reunited we had a lovely night!

Hannah got to perform at the Festival of Trees and had a winter recital this month.  She loves wearing her costume and putting on makeup.  She never gets nervous and does a really good job!  Great Grandma Pearson even came to watch her this year.  I love the picture of them together.  Grandma Merrilee brought her flowers at both performances.  It's a good thing for Grandma since Mom always forgets! Grandpa Don and Morgan came to the recital too.  She loves having family come to watch her dance.

 
The Pearson Family Christmas party is always a holiday tradition.  It didn't seem like there were quite as many people this year, but still so nice to visit with everyone.  Some of the kids shared their talents.  Hannah and my cousin's little girl Victoria take dance together so they did their cute Christmas dance.  I sat and talked to my Grandma Pearson for a minute and asked her if she was enjoying the party.  She said she was so amazed looking around the room at all of her posterity.  There sure are a lot of people who look up to her and love her!
