cliche.

this is what happens when you forget a camera. and go to temple square. with your touch screen phone.

and your mom.

who is wearing gloves.

and it's cold.

nonetheless we finally got a picture where you could see both of our faces and both of our eyes were open. what a miracle.

we had so much fun seeing the lights kind of last minute on sunday- and mike pulled through with some slc secrets when he showed us the paper sacks with holiday messages from different countries.

he had me quiz him on all the laotian.

and he quizzed me on all the english.

my nearly perfect score gave me all the confidence in the world to finish up my classes and begin celebrating christmas next week in florida with all my babies!!
