The Lower Lights Christmas Concert

Last Monday we went to the Lower Lights Christmas Concert

My brother Dustin is The Lower Lights and this concert is the
highlight of our year!  This year it was held at Kingsbury Hall in Salt Lake
and all 4 shows sold out in record time.  

If you haven't heard their music, you must!!





 Emmie snapped this picture of Dustin talking to Mitt Romney before the show started.
Mitt Romney hires The Lower Lights to perform at a lot of his private functions and Dustin
has gotten to know him pretty well. 

We thought we were pretty special because Dustin had bought our tickets before they went on sale and we had the front row (or so we thought).  They ended up putting about 3-4 rows of chairs in front of us for their true fans (like Mitt Romney).  Then we knew we weren't special!

First Presidency Christmas Devotional

Our friends, the Anderson's were able to get tickets to the 
First Presidency Christmas Devotional last Sunday and they invited us to go with them ;)

It was such a treat and we had the best seats!  We were on the 3rd row!!
We were able to watch all the Brethren walk in and sit with their wives in the audience.
We sat 2 rows behind Elder Ballard and President Nelson.

This picture was taken as we were walking in.  Dave was in the restroom.
I have decided that I am taking my good camera with me everywhere from now on
because my phone takes horrible pictures lately!
 This one was taken at our seats.  Look how close ;)
 

Sister's Christmas Party

My Grandma V (Vivian) died 18 years ago and every Christmas since,
the Loveless girls (My mom and her 2 sisters) have been getting together in her memory.
My mom doesn't have any brothers so we call it a "sister's party" and all the girls come.
My grandma LOVED to throw a party and we have a great time when we get together!

This year my Aunt Georgia was in charge so we decided to meet at the Marriott for
brunch.  It was so delightful because there wasn't a big mess for anyone to clean up afterwards :)
