I am trying to decide which card to use. Such a big decision! Here are a few of my favorites from the flat stationary line...

Christmas Lights

One of my favorite Christmas activities is going downtown to see the Christmas lights. I just love the atmosphere of downtown at Christmas time. It's so happy and festive. This year my Grandma Verda booked a week in a condo that was right across the street from the Conference Center. She didn't stay down there the whole week, so she let Mikey and me stay down there for a night, which happened to be the night they turned the lights on at Temple Square. So a lot of my family met up to walk around and see the lights and then go back to the condo for donuts and hot chocolate. After everyone went home, Mikey and I even went out for another walk--just the two of us. I can't image a better night to bring in the Christmas Season.
This was the view from the outside of the condo.

Our Christmas Home Before and After

There are SO many things I love about the Christmas season, but one of my favorites is decorating our home! Oh, I love it. I love seeing the transformation our home takes on during the holidays.

Our tree is somewhat of a crowded wonder--thanks to Mikey's mom's love of ornaments and all things Christmas. She's been collecting ornaments for her kids for years and years. Thus, we have hundreds of ornaments on our tree. I love it! One of our friends was looking at it the other day and commented, "Wow, you even decorate the middle of the tree!" If we want to use all (or most) of the ornaments, we have to! But it's a really fun, random, memory-filled tree. The "before" picture is below--I wanted the "after" picture to be first so the prettier picture was the first one you'd see.
