December 2021

 December started with Christkindlmarkt a German market in Salt Lake. And as we walked around we met Elder Uchtdorf (one of the apostles). Great way to start the holiday season!

Elder Uchtdorf was even in the parade :)

Carrie Underwood in Las Vegas

This was the entrance to the bathroom at The Resorts Casino

Kailee and I have gone to all of Carrie Underwood's Concerts together! And we couldn't miss her residency concert in Las Vegas. We already had our tickets but they were up in the balcony but as we were walking up there, an employee looked at our tickets and asked us if we wanted better seats??? What??? Of course we did! So we got to sit a lot closer on the floor!

The concert was amazing!

Cat decided to drive down with us because she has always wanted to see the Hoover Dam so the next day we went to see it :)

The Nutcracker

For years and years we have been involved in the Nutcracker in one way or another. Gracie wanted to be a part of the Nutcracker but she is no longer doing ballet at Clytie Adams so she tried out for this Nutcracker in Draper that Sidney danced with last year. And since the parents have to give some volunteer hours we decided to help by being party parents. Haha now the whole family has performed in the Nutcracker!
