Christmas in Utah

Yes, we moved to Utah in November. We are happy to be here in South Jordan and feel blessed to have moved to such a beautiful area (albeit different than Northwest beautiful) . It's wonderful to be close to some of Coby's family, have the Oquirrh Mountain Temple practically around the corner, and Coby's new office just a few miles down the street. Sage loves her new school, Daybreak Elementary, and her new teacher, and seems to be adjusting wonderfully. Mira thinks we can just "buy a new Stacy" or "drive to the airport and catch-up on an airplane" to see Grandma and Grandpa Tippetts.Reese just sings her way all around our new house without a care in the world.

As we looked forward to being in Utah for Christmas, we anticipated seeing the lights at Temple Square, and a white Christmas. 

 I don't know if there will be snow for Christmas, but we know it WILL come. We've had a few white days already. One morning, I woke up to this on my shower door. Sage was pretty excited about the white stuff that had fallen in the night.

 The lights at Temple Square were beautiful, and it was fun to be able to enjoy those with the family that live here in Utah. Even Uncle Aaron fllew up from Phoenix to see the lights with us.

Mira LOVES uncle Aaron, so she was happy whether we saw the lights or not!

The girls visited with Santa.

And wore their new Christmas dresses from Grandma Tippetts to church. Check out those cute socks and red SHOES! (Yes, Mira idolizes Sage.)

We look forward to the coming week when we can continue to invite Christ in to our lives more fully and feel the spirit of CHRISTmas.
