We have been having so much Christmas time fun her in Dover!! Jane had a little gift exchange with her bestest friend in the whole world, Addy, who lives up the street :) It was so cute. And Jane has been more than thrilled with her gift...a Barbie Fairy Secret dress!! Every morning she comes into our room fully dressed in her new dress... However, the real gift, clearly, is having such a sweet and wonderful friend living so close :)
Last night, we were able to go to Maryland to see the DC temple lights with Matthew and Courtney and all the kids. We love having them so close (ish) so that we get to see them so often. We started out adventure off with a trip to Cafe Rio...Aaaaah it reminded us of good ol Utah:) Yummy!!
Next we went to the beautiful DC temple. I LOVED seeing the temple...it too reminded me of home!! The grounds were beautifully decorated with lights and this beautiful Nativity Scene.
The lights all around were simply stunning. It was so great to be there with Matthew and Courtney and all the kids.
Jane and Charlotte loved the statue of Jesus!!
There was a room full of nativities from around the world!! The boys were crazy...but it was still very cool.
Jane and Charlotte held hands the whole time...
This was my favorite nativity from South Africa- made from thousands of tiny beads!!
Just a nice shot of the gorgeous temple...
I was surprised to see that Matthew and Courtney had bought me an ice cream cake for my birthday :) And Charlotte made me this sign...so sweet!!
Here's my darling cake!! It was so wonderful to have family to celebrate my birthday with :) It was just really nice. Thanks SOOSOSOSOSO much Matthew and Courtney :)
Today we visited Santa at the mall and the kids had a blast with this adorable santa...
And we visited Dover Downs which was amazing and beautiful and there was this full sized gingerbread house...the kids could hardly resist jumping that fence and eating it up!!
We are gearing up for our first lonely Christmas without all our family...however, the same Christmas traditions will be going on at our house so we will be thinking of you all and missing you. Love you all and have a Merry Christmas!!
