Christmas Bus

Greg's dad rents a bus each year to take us to see the lights at Temple Square, but this year was a little different. The family put on a little Christmas program for a low-income apartment complex in South Salt Lake. The cute old ladies who attended were hilarious, and it was nice to sit back and relax while Sofi was entertained by Toby and April.

The whole family. See why we need a bus?

Sofi loves her aunt Alicia!

This picture is the best! She had no idea how to get the thing off her face.

I didn't grow up very close to a temple, so seeing the lights at Temple Square is as exciting to me as any kid. I'm always so amazed how every single branch seems to be wrapped, and how beautiful all of the exotic nativities are. We got separated from the group this year, so our only chance at getting a family pic was taking a good 'ole selfie.

I found THE CUTEST Christmas dress for Sofi this year. 

 

I had to include one of each picture because the whole ensemble was just the cutest! 

Nothing can rival the joy this one gets from being thrown in the air.
Notice the cute satin bloomers? :)

Sofi survived the bus, the apartment complex, and almost freezing to death on temple square, and Greg and I survived an exhausted and overstimulated baby. She is such a joy to have around and has quite the personality. If you don't believe me, just spend 5 minutes with her. She was so intrigued by the whole experience, and I can't believe that she will be over 1 year 1/2 next time we go. Our life is flying by.
