We had a holiday season full of gingerbread. This kind is not the flavorful cookie that melts in your mouth, bringing back memories of Christmases gone by. This gingerbread is t
he musical type that brings a smile to the face of those who watch. The three girls participated in Grandma Marcia's singing group called The Gingerbread Kids. They spent a lot of time during the Christmas season singing at various locations throughout the Davis County area with a final performance at Temple Square.

Each location was fun for the girls but singing at Temple Square is always a magical experience. It was their final performance so they went all out. Savannah was the most fun to watch because she really got into the dancing especially on Feliz Navidad. I'm pretty sure that she added a few dance moves of her own because I noticed she was the only one spinning in a circle everytime the chorus came up. Savannah also sang at the microphone for the song "All I want fo
r Christmas is my Two Front Teeth," which was very fitting as she is missing two front teeth. Lindsey was quite a bit more reserved in her dancing but her voice was beautiful and it was fun to watch her. She says this is her last year because she is too old! Heather has always been a performer and she shines when she is on stage. She had a couple of solos this year and she did a great job. The girls really enjoyed singing and of course they love the treats that Grandma provides at each performance.

After their performance, we went to the Family History Library. Luke had missed the visit to the library with his Scout troop so he needed to go to earn his merit badge. We ended up spending quite a bit of time there. James had fun looking up his ancestors and following the lines. There is actually a pioneer play area for the kids so they had a great time playing make-believe. Once we had finished up there, we went to the Lion House Pantry for dinner. The kids enjoyed picking out their own dessert. When we were full beyond comfort, we went outside to look at the lights. Temple Square is always a magical place at Christmastime. We are blessed to live so close that we can enjoy the beauty of this sacred place.
