It's Lovely Weather for a HAY ride together with...

(ok, on the count of three Hudson and Harper don't look at the camera - perfect)


Ever year I gourge myself on Christmas Traditions, their is the Ogden Christmas Village, the hayride to see the lights in Layton Park, Temple Square, cookie making, and many others. I love traditions, I bask in their gloriousness and get quite bloated on their sweet goodness. Tommy, the lucky guy to marry me, patiently joins me on all my festivites. This is one such outing to Layton park to see the lights.

Look a picture of me. I do exist.

Tate takes his light watching very seriously. So serious in fact that he plopped himself down between two strangers so that he would have "the best view" of the show.

Then it's a quick pit stop for cookies and hot cocoa.
And a quick visit with the Pagan fat man. (sorry not a fan of santa.). Here is Tate invovled in a very important discussion with the rather small santa. I can just hear him pleading with Santa for a new puppy and a nintendo Wii. "come on santa, you gotta hook me up. I have hit a dead end with my mom on the whole Wii thing, you're my only hope."

And finally my favorite picture of the night, Harper giving Santa the stink eye. "Alright you bearded freak, I don't know who you are or what you want, but you keep your distance."

Then to top the night off Hudson turns to her daddy and says, "Oh, daddy can we do this again next Christmas time?"

I think I can actually hear her future husband gritting his teeth.
