We started off December with a bang thanks to my mom. She personally ushered in the Christmas season with a trip to see the NYC Rockettes Christmas show in Salt Lake, the Festival of Trees, and BYU's Christmas Around the World. Whew! I know, she's amazing. We had a wonderful time being submerged in the lights, sounds, smells, and spirit of Christmas. And I couldn't help but thinking back to the days when my own Grandma Laynie would do the same things for me. Don't we just love grandmas?
