Christmas Lights worth seeing in St. George and beyond!

According to Hedgehog Electric, this is the must see list for Christmas lights in Southwestern Utah.

 See map here for route! Thanks to my sister for finding me these links!
I drove by this house the other day but the lights were not on yet...
crazy how into the Christmas lights this house has a lot going on...

There is one newer spot to browse Christmas lights and that is at the new Desert Garden up on Red Hills Parkway next to Pioneer Park aka Dixie Rock!

 Okay, that's about all I have to say about that.

 One more thing, The Christmas lights display at Town Square at Main and Tabernacle are awesome... much better than at the Temple. I was a little disappointed with how few lights they had up at the temple... but I guess the temple makes up for it by having a nativity presentation and all those cool things you can do inside the visitor center....

which brings up a childhood memory.

 When I was a kid, I lived on the corner of  400 S 700 E right across from East Elementary school and Dixie College. My siblings and I used to ride our bikes down to the visitor center. (of course back then the visitor center was on the north east corner of the temple and it was much smaller. Anyway, we would go in there and request to watch Johnny Lingo (the original short film). Luckily, the sister missionaries didn't mind and they lets us watch it all the time as often as we liked. 

 We also used to play on the temple steps... and I dreamed that one day I would go inside the temple and marry my prince there... that didn't happen... I did marry but I was sealed in Manti Temple which is an equally beautiful temple I am sure... to be honest, since I have been living back in St. George I have yet to visit or go inside the St. George Temple... I need to do that soon.

The cook book for your toddler - Het kookboek voor je peuter

Image
So, I've been going through this little cook book I got from the baby clinic - the book is made by Kinderen - it's a monthly magazine for mothers and expecting mothers - and it's a great little book. see bol.com Here are just a few of the recipes I've tried: Pippi's pannenkoekentaart That was good - I gave it a 4 star **** - easy to make and everyone enjoyed it. Dessert for dinner is good anytime :) I put sliced apples in almost every pancake - which is why it leans so much. It was very filling - and very yummy. Up next: Een echt indiaantje Good 4 stars **** - another easy meal, presented in such a way that the kids got excited... Kailea, my 5 year old, is normally very picky about green food - she ate it up :) We served it with simple gravy. Ella - liked the patty, but tossed the sugar snaps aside - oh well, can't please everyone - but I try. Kailea poses for me. Dad's angry man... even big kids play with their food ! And..

The BEST REAL Peanut Butter Cookies

Image
Gooey in the middle and crispy on the outside, just the way a cookie should be! I discovered this recipe some years ago. I used to bake it nearly every month, that's how good it is. I've tried many, many peanut butter cookie recipes and this is the best by far! You don't really need to add chocolate chips... but I just happen to get a bag full of goodies from a lady who bought all these baking supplies - American style baking supplies - from the BX, and the stuff she didn't use up before she moved back to the U.S. - was gifted to me. So the best way to show my gratitude - was to use it up! There was a half open bag of white chocolate chips and a half open bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips... Did I mention... I love this recipe for peanut butter cookies and I threw in the chocolate chips as well. It was very yummy. This recipe is originally vegan believe it or not. You don't really need eggs in most baked goods anyway. But then I went and poured in all t

Baby Name: Kenobi (boy)

Image
So, I'm pregnant, I think I've already announced that somewhere... but anyway, it's a boy! My first one. I already have three girls. I thought for sure it would be another girl but then this pregnancy was very different. For one, I didn't have the same disdain for garlic and onions that I did with the other pregnancies... and two, I have more hair growing on my legs... it completely stopped growing for 9 months with the girls. That's a bonus to having girls... but the bonus for having a boy is I can still eat whatever I want and not feel sick. It's kind of a disadvantage though - because then I really have to monitor myself - so I don't get too fat. Why is choosing a baby name so difficult? Well, we've come up with quite a long list of names, the problem is - we don't agree on each other's name choices. My man loves one name, I love another. We even put up a poll on babynames.com to let all our friends and family and associates vote on the n
