The Christmas season has been filled with little people (and I am not talking elves) helping us decorate the tree (and in Ethan's case, undecorate the tree) and in general, get us into the spirit of Christmas.
I started out with taking Gavin and Ellie to "Christmas Is" at Citrus College. It is a marvelous production that would make Broadway proud of the skill and expertise of the college staff and students. The musical was about the magic ingredient of Christmas - love and giving. Ellie and Gavin enjoyed it and sat through the whole musical without squirming at all. They even got to go up on stage and sit with the elves and Santa and Mrs. Claus. We will definitely do this next year as it is a very professional production, with extraordinary singing and choreography.
Another Christmas highlight is the Brush neighborhood Christmas party. The grandkids had a great time picking out some of the delicious and spectacular looking desserts.
Ethan is eating, with glee, one of the wonderful desserts, while his parents look on and Megster tries to steer the chocolate away from his handsome outfit.
Santa stopped by the party to find out what the children wanted for Christmas. With all 4 grandchildren there, Brad and I had all that we wanted for Christmas.
Thanks again to the Brush family for a lovely holiday party. The food is incomparable, the hosts are most gracious and the guests were a lot of fun to mingle with.
Upon return to our home, we were surprised to see that Santa had stopped and delivered one present to each child. They quickly unwrapped each one and found new warm pajamas from Santa. . .good thing Santa brought them early because it has been cold.
They all put their pj's on and modeled them for us. Good choice, Santa!
Yesterday, Brad and I flew up to Salt Lake and were able to see the Christmas concert in the Conference Center, thanks to a wonderful Christmas present from our children. David Archuleta was the featured performer and actor Michael York did the narrative. It was an unforgettable experience and one that we will treasure always.
Finally after the concert, we walked around Temple Square and looked at the lights. It's hard not to feel the spirit of Christmas when we have so much to feel thankful for at this time in our lives.
