As a young girl, my next door neighbors, The Smiths, always went down to Salt Lake City for a sleepover at a hotel the week before Christmas. I always thought that would be a fun tradition to have with my family.
This year we did it! Papa Dan (Melissa's generous father) got us a rockin' rate at the Homewood Suites Hilton, so we could afford the splurge! We went and saw the Christmas lights at Temple Square, rode Trax, we walked around the Gateway and got some chocolates at Rocky Mt. Chocolate Factory, had hot chocolate in the hotel lobby, read Christmas stories, watched Polar Express, the kids had a "sleepover," slept in, went to breakfast and dinner, did some Christmas shopping at the dollar store and had a great time being together with our little family! I hope we will be able to continue this tradition!
