Christmas Staycation-The Elves at Gardner Village


 When Josh was young his family had a tradition of going to Salt Lake and staying at The Marriott hotel every Christmas.  They would swim in the pool and got see the lights of Temple Square.  It was one of Josh's favorite memories.

We decided that it was something that we wanted to do with our kids as well.  Josh got us a room at The Marriott and we decided to make a little Staycation of it.  The month of December was so busy, that we weren't able to do as many "Christmasy" things as we would have liked so we decided to do a whole bunch of them while we were in Salt Lake.
 We always love to go see the Elves at Gardner Village.  The boys took the day off school and we enjoyed that it wasn't as busy as it usually is this time of year.
 there are always so many cute displays.  It always seems so magical to me.



Hunter was such a cutie and gave me a kiss under the mistletoe :)




 We found all of the elves on the and went and claimed our cookie (that is always the best part).
This is definitely one of our favorite traditions!
