"You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. Some may be significant only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experiences." — Gordon B. Hinckley

Lighting Ceremony

The holiday lighting ceremony at the
historical Hotel Colorado. Nearly one million lights
will signal the start of the holiday season!! It was so
beautiful!! The streets were closed, which allowed them
to fill up with people. There was a huge screen so you
could see not only hear the songs. The Christmas songs they
sang were beautiful. It was a VERY cold night but we
had fun visiting with family and enjoying the sounds of the season.
Just after 7pm there was spot light on the top window of the
hotel, and looking up you could see Santa waving at all the
people! Then the million lights were turned on. The hotel
was completely lit up with reds, greens and whites. While we
were still taking in all the great decorations the firework show started!!
It was amazing, the colors, the sounds the excitement was
contagious! I am so glad were were able to be there and enjoy the
start of the holiday season. After the fireworks we headed
to Sterling's for hot chocolate and
sweet potato donuts!!
YUMMY!!!!!!
Jolene got tired before it started and Raychel's
feet were cold, what better way to rest
and warm your sisters feet!?
The true love of my life!!
Our little family
These three love being together.
Hundreds of people turn out for
the lighting ceremony.
