Abe got his booster Friday and spent a lot of Friday night shivering in bed with night sweats and chills. But he still managed to look so great in this picture I took while we were chatting Saturday morning.

The kids spent the morning building forts around the house.

In the early afternoon we joined the Kahlers at the living nativity display in Alpine. They are some of our favorite people, and bonus–we got to see Megan and Emily and Megan’s mom, Sharon, too. Love them all. And the nativity was very cute. Although the line was long, the weather was great so we just spent that time chatting happily away.

After the nativity we drove to Salt Lake to try to get into the Christkindlemarkt, which is now overrun. After waiting twenty minutes to get in, we turned around and headed home. We dropped the youngest three off at home with Eliza before heading back to Salt Lake with Lydia and Michaelann. We calculate we could have probably driven to California on Saturday with as much time as we spent driving!

But it was so worth it. At the concert they played my favorite violin concerto (the Mendelssohn) and another beloved piece, the Brahms symphony number 3. So beautiful.

Abe managed to stand for the ovation at the end. He took a picture of his more relaxed clapping companions. I seriously loved the concert but apparently was too tired to stand up.
