More and More December Activities

Neighborhood Gift Donation Drive

This year, our neighborhood decided to donate coats, clothes and money to United way instead of handing out neighbor gifts.  We had a designated time to bring over our stuff, enjoy hot chocolate, cookies and friends.  We were suppose to go Christmas caroling, but it was too chilly of a night so we crossed it off.

Week with my Brother Brian's Family

We were lucky that Brian, Michelle and their adorable kids picked Park city for their family vacation.  We met up with them at the SLC Temple to look at all the beautiful lights.  The kids even made a snowman outside of the temple.

Since it was Sarah's birthday, we went out to an Indian Restaurant for some yummy food.

On Wednesday we went to Hogle Zoo together.  Even though it was slightly chilly a lot of the animals were out of their hiding (probably searching for the sun).  After seeing all of the animals the kids played on the playground for a little while.  

Julia and Maya loved the zoo... 

especially since they were able to see all of the lions, tigers and bears.

Brian was a great sport riding and playing with the kids.

After the Zoo the girls and I headed up to park city to take advantage of the condos pool. We had a great time and thanks to Pizza Hut, Brian was able to take care of dinner without leaving us much of a mess to clean up.
