Christmas Traditions- Musical Chairs and Temple Square

We had our Family Christmas Party on Saturday. A Family Christmas party without Musical Chairs just isn't a party. One time Bug and I were doing a Five in a Row unit study based on The Hickory Chair. In the study- there was a little section on Musical Chairs- and how it's a fun game to play with young kids. Bug and I LAUGHED and thought that was Hillarious!- "with young kids".... Every year at our Family Christmas Party- we have a game of Musical chairs- and NO- it's not a game for the kids. It is an aggressive game for the adults. We of course- have a game for the little kids, but only to keep them from getting smashed. The kids game-
The Adults game- So far everyone seems to be smiles- though we've had broken chairs, and people landing on the floor before- I can't recall any blood or broken bones- but that doesn't mean it hasn't happened- lol.
Another Family Christmas Tradition we have is going to Temple Square in Salt Lake City to see the Christmas Lights and Nativity scenes.
This year, since the new Commuter Rail FrontRunner is up and going- we only drove as far as Ogden, then hopped on a train. The kids waving out the window of the train.
Roo and I on the Train ride- Roo was SOO excited- he could hardly wait for the train to start moving!We had a wonderful time for Family Night. The Lights were beautiful, and the feeling on Temple square is just amazing! The sights at Temple Square:
