Dogs to Dawgs and Everything in Between

After going to Temple Square with Kirsta and her family, we headed down to Provo.  We spent the night at my other sister's apartment.  Sirie and Spencer let us hang out at their house for a couple of nights while we visited with them and with Kirsta's family more.  

Sirie and Spencer have two cute dogs--Lily and Twix.  It was a lot of fun to have them around.  We like dogs--from afar.  I don't know if we'll ever own a dog or if we'll just enjoy our friends' and neighbors' and family members' pets.  But it was certainly fun being around these two dogs for a couple of days.

Temple Square with Kirsta's family

A few days after going to Temple Square with my parents, Kirsta asked if we wanted to go there with her family.  Sure!  We made a fun date out of it and got to see different things, making it worth the second trip.

As we were driving down to Salt Lake again, we got to view a beautiful sunset.  I love the sunsets in Utah!  I don't know if it's because of the mountains or what, but they are gorgeous to me!

Snow!

December 15th we left the nice warm weather of Austin and drove to Utah, spending the night in Albuquerque on the way up.  We saw little bits of snow here and there, but really only dusting.  Glenn had been looking forward to Utah and the possibility of snow.  A couple days after getting there, Glenn woke me up, excited to show me that it had snowed!!  He and Paul went out and played in it.  I however, stayed inside and took pictures of them from the warmth of the house.

Temple Square and Anniversary Dinner

My parents' anniversary is December 17th.  We were in Utah by that time and got to spend the evening with them.  We went down to Temple Square in Salt Lake City.  My parents did sealings in the Salt Lake Temple while we walked around and looked at the lights.

December in Texas

Even though we knew we were traveling to Utah for Christmas, we still wanted to set up some decorations at our home.  Glenn wanted to help set up the tree this year.

SeaWorld's Christmas Celebration

December 6th, we headed down to San Antonio to go to SeaWorld's Christmas Celebration.
