Overnighter

For 7 years now, Thiago and I always go to Salt Lake and do a little Christmas shopping the weekend after Thanksgiving. We started it the year before we got married. Shopped all day and then went to dinner on "The Roof", at the top of Joseph Smith Memorial Building. To my surprise that year, he proposed that night. I had no idea, I knew it was coming but we had talked about the following spring. So it was a very nice surprise. We carry the tradition on each year, except now we stay over night as well.


As you will see most of our pictures are taken by me, I have freakishly long arms and can take them pretty well. We had such a good time with just the two of us. My inlaws kept our kids, which we always appreciate. Its funny cause you wait so long to have time to yourself, but we still spent the majority of our day talking about them, wondering how they were and calling to check up on them. Kinda obsessive, however most of it is coming from their dad. He is just a tad overprotective.



Love these nuts...favorite part about shopping during the holidays.


My kids are almost totally done, Carson is a little over done. We always go crazy on him, there are just so many things I knew he would love. Still have a couple of odds and ends for Lincoln, he was a little harder.


Stayed at the Grand America this year. It was beautiful, thanks to my honey for always spoiling me. I am a lucky girl, he works hard to provide the best for me and our kids. I felt very loved and pampered this weekend...which is always nice from the day to day stuff. Thanks sweetie!!


Fancy bathroom...


I always think it is funny how they come in and pull your bed down, kinda odd.


What a nerd, he is pretending to act really impressed by the lobby. Goof.


All dressed up and ready to go to dinner, we are standing on our balcony in these pictures.




In front of the Christmas tree at the Joseph Smith building, I have a picture exactly like this 7 years ago the night we got engaged. Should have scanned it on, but didn't want to take the time right now.

Thanks babe for the fun weekend, and most of all thanks for being you. What a girl I am, and it takes a special guy to put up with all my shannigans. Love you-
