We rolled into St. George the afternoon of the 22nd. We ate dinner then took the kids up to Tuacahn, an outdoor amphitheatre to look at Christmas lights. We were surprised to find out that there was a lot going on there! Camel rides, horse drawn wagon rides, carolers, pictures with Santa, and a live nativity presentation. It was cold outside and we were not prepared (Eric was wearing shorts), but we stayed to listen to the carolers and see the live nativity. Seriously, it was really cool. I wish we had had our camera for pictures. A live nativity makes it so much more realistic and was a good way to refocus on the true meaning of Christmas. Henry loved the "wisemenses" and the live animals, including a camel, walking on stage. We then went back to his Grandpa's house where me and the kids went to bed while Eric stayed up chatting with his Grandpa about his days in the military. The next day was the Sunday, the 23rd, we went to church there and had lunch at Eric's uncle's house. We ate abelskivers! Anyway, this is a picture of four generations. Eric's grandpa is so great, he's 87 and is so full of life. He's the picture of health and is as sharp as a tack. I think this was the first time he'd met Henry, so we were really glad to have been able to stop and visit them.
