An SLC Christmas

 It was nice this year getting back into the Christmas traditions I grew up with. Temple Square is at the top of the list and we found ourselves enjoying it multiple times.

We began our Christmas Eve with the annual trip to see the lights. It wasn't too cold this year which was so nice.

 Then we warmed up with Tim Tam Slams. LOVE them!

We woke up and did the whole presents/stocking thing. Then enjoyed a delicious breakfast! We spent the rest of the day with Tyler's family but had too much fun for pics, oops.

We really loved spending Christmas with our families this year. Next year...baby will be with us!!

Week 16

Christmas Part-ay!

Tyler, his brother Mackay, his wife Amanda and I went to a Christmas party this week at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. The food-awesome! The company-fun! The games-entertaining! The night-enjoyed!

This was our view as we sat at our table for dinner. The temple and the lights on Temple Square looked so beautiful!

So here we are showing off our random white elephant winnings. China cola?! Who's ever heard of that?

Our "wife's gift" was some Mac. Boo ya!

The tree in the lobby of JSMB is so beautiful. The architecture, decor and atmosphere created a magical feeling in that space.

The HEAT'S too hot for the Jazz

We started this delightful evening at the Market Street Grill. I must admit, we were first-timers and we were not disappointed. The food was delish! (they could use some design help in the space though)

I have been dying to go to a Jazz game and this was not a bad one to start out with. Utah Jazz vs. Miami Heat. I have had a slight crush on LeBron since I watched him YEARS ago in a high school slam dunk contest (on TV) but I gained a new crush on D. Wade too. He's good, that's hot.

We got a late start but I hope to go to many more Jazz games this season. They are fun!!

100 DAYS

I have been pregnant for 100 days! I can't believe how fast that went.

Festival of Trees

I LOVE the Festival of Trees. Year after year they never disappoint. There are always new, creative, and beautiful trees.

This year I paid extra attention to the children the trees were decorated for, it was very touching. I was so wrapped up in enjoying the exhibit that I didn't take one pic of the trees so I borrowed from the site.

So fun spending the evening with Ty's brothers and their wives (and babe!)

What good looking brothers!

Week 13

Magical

We never took the opportunity while in New York, so when we heard the Rockettes were coming to SLC we knew we HAD to get tickets! It was an amazing show. Those girls are like robots the way they are so in sync. I loved the "soldiers" scene and Tyler liked when the toys came alive. The scenery was fantastic. I didn't make it through without tears (surprise surprise) but I was so glad we went on that "mind trip" to NYC.

Tickets: $87.25

Treats for the show: $2.05

Announcing there are 3 of us in this picture: PRICELESS.

Baby Lynch is due June 7, 2011

We are so excited!!!

Listen Up!!

My bestie from NYC is giving away 5 copies of her Christmas CD!! You MUST check out the sampler here. Then, once you're in awe of her talent, enter the running by leaving a comment. The winner will be announced Tuesday 11/23 at 9am EST.

My Sister is a Baller

It has been so awesome being able to be here for a few of my sister Dallas's volleyball games. She is the captain of Wood Cross's varsity team. It was so fun to watch not only her mad skills (9'-3" vertical jump!!) but also to watch her lead her team.

I was so glad we were there on senior night to support her in her last game at Woods Cross High School. I am so proud of her talent, dedication and great attitude!

Love you Dallas!!

Witches Night Out

So the very night we moved back to Utah my Mom said to schedule Oct 22 for Witches Night Out at Gardner Village. We made our fabulous feather hats and sparkle tutus. And the best part...we matched!!

The Lynch witches came too (minus one, bummer) Talk about an awesome girls night!

There were some killer witch costumes and lots of girl power going around. We had some HOT soup in a bread-bowl, browsed the cute boutiques and shops, tried some KISS Sticks and went a little happy at a gummy bear bar.

Thanks girls for an awesome night. It was fun to be all together!!
