Christmas dinner and temple lights

We ate our "Christmas" dinner of steaks, baked potatos, corn on the cob, and asparagus on friday night. 
It was a nice surprise to have Lexi home because she was supposed to work. But when we went to drop her off, the lights were all off and the door was locked. She called to find out what the deal was and turns out someone lost the key, so thy didn't open at all on Friday. Strange place. 
In awesome mom news, Chris took a tumble down the stairs and, after assessing that he was ok, I sniped him. 
On Saturday we drove up to see the temple lights. I'm embarrassed to admit that we have never done that before, during any of the 5 Christmas seasons we've been here. 
It was so pretty! The girls were super wound up and running all around. 
But who worries about that? We had selfies to take. (;
Kid code = see water, even dirty, gross water, must touch. I swear these girls would have fallen in if we'd let them. 
We stayed for a concert by the Lyons girls. I also got to name drop as we were leaving. I was all "oh yeah, they're in my ward, so you know." And they were like "oh that's cool. Which one is older?" And I got to expound on my Lyons girls knowledge. Awesome, I know. 
Also, best part of the night was running into this guy. 
Elder Anderson is going home in like, a week, so it was so fun to see him again. 
We saw the concert, the lights, and half of our ward, and then it was time to hit the road. 
We rolled up around 11pm and got up bright and early for our last week of 9am church for a whole year, yay!!!
Other than that we've been lazy lazy. We've watched some terrible movies (grown ups 2 and the internship), stayed up way too late, lounges in our jams, and eaten lots of candy. It's been a nice, quiet Christmas break.
