Mercedes and the Girls

Today was a fun day full of Christmas activities!  We headed up to Grandmere and Bapa's house, and made candy houses! 

The gross gingerbread was glued together with hot glue...the best way I've found to make it work!  They never want to eat the actual house, anyway.  Then each girl got some frosting in a bag and set to work. 

Mimi was really equally interested in eating the candy, which is not surprising. 

Even Bapa got in on the fun! 

Sweet little girls and their cute little houses! 

We went to lunch at Hires, which is always fun with Grandmere and Bapa. 

This afternoon we enjoyed some hot chocolate in Grandma's Christmas mugs! 

The evening ended with a trip to Temple Square, as the girls will not be with me for Christmas Eve.  Bapa headed out with us, and we took in the lights. 

I've never seen this before, but the gates to the actual temple grounds were open, so we could walk right up to the big doors. 

We had a fun day with family, celebrating this beautiful time of year!
