::christmas bells are ringing::

Our friends invited us to the symphony on Thursday. Kaela plays the trombone and has free tickets, so they let us tag along. It was the Utah Valley Symphony Christmas concert, so it was a great way to kick off the christmas season! It was especially fun for B because his grandma used to be the president of the symphony (and played the violin), and he and his family would go every year. His aunt also plays, so it was fun to surprise her after the show :)



The Utah Valley Symphony is now playing in the new Covey Center for the Arts in downtown Provo. Go here to see what else the covey center has to offer, which is alot.


We couldn't help but notice that every tree in downtown provo was covered in pretty christmas lights, so we wanted to stay out a little later and enjoy the atmoshphere.



We decided to have some fried ice cream at Los Hermanos, and B let me eat the cherry on top :)


This is what we did for the rest of the weekend.
This is part of byu campus for those that don't know.



On a separate note, i actually did have a really great enrichment super saturday where I learned to make lots of really cute things. Unfortunately, since I'm on the committee, I didn't actually have time to finish any of my projects since I was in charge of helping others finish theirs. I will post pics of my projects if I actually ever finish them :) It was a succes though, with a huge turnout!

I just talked to you and didn't even know about your fun night! Christmas music and all the lights will really do wonders for getting you in the Christmas spirit!

That sounds fun! Those trees in Provo look awesome! I wish Evanston would do something like that.

Those trees are so cute, we need to do that! And so nice of B-ball to let you eat the cherry. I wanna see the projects you made! And then I need you to teach me how to make them. How come we haven't hung out with you guys for a hundred years???
