Guffey Family Christmas Party

We did something different this year for the Guffey family party.  Aunt Heidi proposed we stay a night downtown at Little America Hotel instead of having a party at one of our houses.  The money spent towards gifts for everybody would instead go towards 24 hours of Salt Lake City fun together.  We thought it sounded like a great idea!
We all met for dinner at The Spaghetti Factory and shopped at Trolley Square.  Then we checked-in at our hotel and fell in love with our giant rooms!  Little America is an oldie but a goodie.  I forgot my camera so I was trying to take some pictures with my phone.  As you can see the kids wouldn't hold still for a second because they were so stoked!

Our intentions were to go Temple Square and see the lights and maybe a carriage ride, but the grown-ups were pooped and the kids were anxious to swim.  Another perk of the hotel is they have an indoor/outdoor pool which they love.

All set for bed

The next morning we slept in and went to breakfast.  Again, our intention was to get out and do something like ice skating at the Gallivan Center, but all the kids wanted to do was go swimming!

Then we checked-out and went shopping at the Gateway.  So much fun and thanks to my Sister for such a great idea.  Pretty sure we are making this a tradition.
