I can safely say that Eloise's favorite part of Christmas is looking at all the "LIGH-LIGH's!" She would scream with glee every time we passed a Christmas tree with lights, or a lovely decorated home. Needless to say, she LOVED the decorated temple. We made two trips to the LA temple this year to let her see all the beautiful lights. Hansen's parents were with us for the first trip (we didn't get any photos of them, what were we thinking?!), and then my parents were able to come the week after Christmas and we made the visit again! Eloise was thrilled both times!
She was happiest when she was wandering around alone...
Not so happy when she was picked up for a picture with Mom and Dad.
And finally, I'd love to mention that Grandpa Smith helped with these trees this year. Aren't they beautiful? Rees is a counselor in the singles ward in Santa Clarita. This was their assignment and I think they did a great job!
So fun to see the pictures - Jett also loved Christmas lights and he'd point them out whenever we drove around. Actually, sometimes he still points out lights, so I'm not sure he's made the connection with Christmas. :)
