Those Animals!

 The day that I went down to Provo to decorate Kierra's Christmas tree,

 was also the same day that Kierra's phone stopped working. Living in this day and age,

 everyone knows that your phone is pretty much a necessity! Especially as a college student!

 Soooo, lucky for her, we were already planning on coming down to see her and take her out to lunch...

 We ended up going to the Sprint store in the mall, where we played and played and played, 

and ate too. :)

 We rented one of "those animals" and the kids had a ball riding it around the mall for an hour!

 As you can tell, everyone was ALL SMILES... :)

 I had fun spying on them from the upper level near the Sprint store...

They rode round and round and round Santa's big chair 

maybe secretly hoping that the Big Guy would show! ;)

It was a very fun afternoon, but really, it doesn't matter what it is that we end up doing together...

We just really like being with our family.

After all, (in the words of my children) it's the BEST family in the universe!!!
