Celebrating a little Christmas

We have tried to do a few activities to bring in the Christmas joy over the past week.  Last weekend, we had Windsor for the night, and I took the girls to the Riverwoods in Provo.  It was lit up beautiful, and we enjoyed a ride around in a horse drawn wagon.  I made the girls stop and see Santa. . . who thinks they are too old to see Santa??

Visting Santa!


We also stopped at some of the fire pits and roasted some marshmallows for S'mores

It was a nice little evening with the girls all together.  

Last night, we decided to take the Frontrunner train up to Salt Lake to check out the lights at Temple Square.  It was our first time on the train, and I  really enjoyed the ride!  We were able to get on the train in Provo and just enjoy the ride.  Jeff and Eliza and Windsor hopped on at the Orem station and joined us for the evening.  The train rides up to almost 80 MPH and is a very nice way to travel.

Temple Square was bustling with crowds.  It was still beautiful. . . even though extremely crowded!!  It felt like everyone in Utah was visiting the lights last night in Salt Lake!!   We got a bite to eat and enjoyed walking around and seeing some of the lights.  




We took the Trax from Temple Square back to the Front Runner and enjoyed the crowded ride back to Provo. .. the girls enjoyed making some friends on the train and singing Christmas Carols most of the way!  It was nice to not have to worry about driving or parking or traffic. Overall, the evening was a success !

A horse drawn carriage ride and seeing the Temple Square lights are both on my bucket list! It sounds like you are making good use of seasonal opportunities.
