Family Home Evening

Monday night we went downtown for a Christmas family home evening. We started with listening to a children's choir in the Joseph Smith building. Cora loved it! The kids were all ages, sang pretty well, and were really cute. She was glued to it pretty much the whole time! Violet, on the other hand, had a fun time running around and playing with Kissie's phone. We had soup and cookies and Kissie and Pata's house and went back out to look at the lights. The girls were not interested in getting their pictures taken but we did have a fun time looking around. We also stopped the the Church History Museum to see the nativities from around the world they have in the lobby each year-- one of my favorite Christmas stops. I guess we really went just for me, I thought the girls would like it, but Cora was more interested in going on the escalators and Violet just wanted to get in and out of the stroller over and over. Planning events with kids is certainly unpredictable! There was a harpist in the lobby too, playing Christmas songs, so it was fun for Cora to see her play, it was really pretty music. I'm glad we made it downtown once more to take advantage of all the festivities! Thankfully it was in the 30s, not the single digits like it was last week!
