Lauren's Holiday Dance Performance - Dec. 2009

This was Lauren's 7th Christmas performance and she did super! Her solo dance was to Santa Boogie. She was supper sassy and did great pirouettes! She is fun to watch because she has great confidence on the floor and is very enthusiastic!



Lauren also dances as part of a class that studies jazz and tap. Both her tap and jazz dances were very fun, and she has learned a lot from the older dancers in her class. This year has been especially fun since her friend Kira is now in her class.

Temple Square at Christmas 2009

One of our traditional FHE's during the Christmas season include going downtown to see the lights at temple square. The weather was cold, but not unbearable. Our evening began with dinner at Rio Grande followed by a walk around Temple Square. Every year I'm amazed at the beauty of the Main Street Plaza, Temple grounds and Nativity. I love watching Ashton follow the nativity commenting on each segment. It has been fun to see him understand the true meaning of Christmas this year as well as enjoy the Santa aspect too! Following temple square, we drove up to Chrstmas Street in SugarHouse, it is not as decorated as previous years. However, the street near Westminster that tells the Bible Story of Christ's birth, was really great this year, because Ashton could read each verse. Hot Chocolate at Starbucks followed to warm us up.
