Visit to Mesa

So we went down to Mesa for a quick visit and a family Christmas party in the middle of December. When we first got there we enjoyed some FABULOUS pizza made by the one and only Marni. For those of you who don't know, she is the pizza master!!! The one I try to be. We had just about the whole family there. From there we went to the Mesa Temple to check out the lights.
















I love checking out the lights here. They are so pretty and it is not too cold. In fact even the jackets we had on were almost too much. I loved watching Summit cause his eyes would light up at each main spot and it was as though I could see the dots in his mind connecting. Like he was seeing in real life what he had been taught at home and in Primary. It was awesome!!!!

The morning we went to the Adult Christmas Party. It sounds a little risque, and I tell you what the White Elephant gift exchange gets a little crazy. But the waffles are to die for!!!!

After that, Blake went to play some Ultimate Frisbee and I went shopping and then picked up the kids and got them ready for family pictures. Sorry, I have none of those, but I hope to get some from someone who was smart enough to take them.

Then as a family we did some more Christmas shopping and then it was off to the train station.






















This was the coolest collection of trains I have ever seen. Summit had a blast and really did not want to leave. Also, this year he is totally taken by Santa.

From there we went to Red Robin for dinner with the whole crew.






It was delicious!!! And the younger kids could not leave without a picture taken with the bird.
