Trip to Utah: Annie's Wedding and Thanksgiving

The wedding seemed to go just as planned. Maren loved that Annie looked like a princess.



We got the chance to go to a BYU basketball game. If you donated cans you could get free tickets. Many families filled the new broadcasting building where there were all kinds of fun activities including meeting Cosmo!

They had a green screen set up where you could appear to be in the Marriott Center. Spencer had on a green shirt so you could see right through him.

Maren had a blast shaking her pompoms and wearing her "YU" stickers. She leaves off the B for some reason.

The face doesn't tell you but she really did have fun.

The friday after thanksgiving we went to Temple Square to see the lights. This is taken inside the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. It was quite a cold night.

The beautiful Salt Lake Temple

You cant quite tell but the tree above us had gold lights with golden leaves. It was quite amazing in person.

Once we returned home to Oregon, we went to a Christmas tree farm to buy our very first live tree! It was a bit more expensive then we anticipated hearing you could get trees for $15, but the experience was worth it. We felt good helping out this elderly gentlemen that ran the farm. He was so kind and helpful.

This is our Noble fir tree. Pretty small but fills the space in our small apartment nicely.

Maren was so excited about the tree. She helped me decorate.

All the festivities made Maren want to dress up so here she is matching the red on the tree. A detail she probably noticed herself and why she chose this dress. This little girl sure knows how to pay attention to detail. Christmas is officially underway and we are excited for it. We hope you capture the season in your lives as well!
