So Lexi had a blast on her Great Day Temple Square Choir Tour. She had her eyes opened to the life of HS kids on busses and being away from home – some good, some bad. She had fun hanging out with Stacy Roberts. I also went along and drove down with some of the other moms. I was proud of Lex with her singing, her standards, and her respect towards me. She is a great gal.
My sister, Michelle, picked us up after the tour was over as our family was coming to spend the weekend in SLC to see the lights at Temple Square. Michelle took us to lunch at Zuppas (one of my favorites!). She also took us shopping and paid money toward Lexi's prize purchase of the weekend – sparkling silver, glitter "TOMS". A "cool" shoe that she has been excited about owning and wearing.
Lexi also just had a great experience being invited to play futsal with her friend, Tanner and his pals over the Christmas break. She was a bit intimidated, but her excited-ness won out over her nerves and she chalked it up as one of her highlights of the break.
She also loved having her cousins in town – Parker and Baldwin! Bridget was able to stay at our house for 3 nights and accompanied Lex along with Grant and Jed to our Stake New Year's Eve dance. It is so much fun to watch these amazing young people grown up.
