Dean went to the NFR in Las Vegas and while he was there the kids and I stayed busy in Utah. We went to lunch with some of my friends from high school and stayed with grandma great (she was recovering from a minor stroke). We had our annual family Jerusalem dinner, played with cousins, and did a little shopping. TJ invited us to see the lights in SLC. We took the train down, it was the first time I had ever been on the front runner. Josie was excited to ride on the train. We walked around temple square and watched the little nativity, Josie still thinks that Mary was holding a lamb and that baby Jesus is lost, so we will have to straighten that out either when she is old enough to see or when her eyes get a little better. We ate at City Creek and when we came out Santa was standing there getting ready to go home (it was Josie's first time ever seeing him). Josie was so excited he waved at her and told her Merry Christmas. When he walked away she covered her mouth and said, "Mom you didn't even tell me Santa Claus weared glasses". We headed back home and I'm pretty sure TJ and Ashton were burnt out from helping me with the kids, but they really were so helpful. The kids were crazy on the train and so tired by the time I put them in bed.
