Last Monday night we went to the city lighting of the lights ceremony and our school choir got to carol along the street as the candy windows were revealed. It was a really fun night except Ashleigh and Kiri had to work so we missed out on having them with us.

We walked along the streets and admired the beautiful, and I mean BEAUTIFUL exhibits of candy. We got treated to Hot chocolate and cookies along the way. They also had fire pits to keep us warm all down Center Street. All of the picture don't even come close to showing all the different kinds of candies used or even the detail, but believe me when I say, they were incredible. The balloon ride took first place and it weighed over 200 lbs. They told us they had been working on it since March. All the backround and ground were also covered in candy with sparkling lights to represent city lights. On another one, the red horse was made so good and the green candies were the ground and the blue background was all candy. You can see Emma, William, and Gracie's reflections in the window which reminded me of how much this holiday is so fun for children. I think my sister Kim would love the girl sleeping in the bed because of the quilt. It was made so incredibly well.

The candy windows will be on display until New Years on Center Street in Provo. Take the kids if you get a chance.
