First we went to the Dollar Tree to buy our annual dollar store gag gifts. Each year we go to the dollar store, spend $5 and get each member of our family (we include the dog here) a dollar store gem. We then wrap them and place them in the giant stocking that hangs in our living room. We don't open these gifts until Christmas night, and they are probably the most anticipated gifts we open. (Don't worry, we buy each other real presents too!)
After shopping at the Dollar Tree we got our class on and headed to Temple Square to enjoy our annual dinner at The Roof. For those of you that haven't been, the Roof is a fancy restaurant on the top floor of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. The entire west side of the restaurant is windows and it looks out directly on the Salt Lake Temple, and all the beautiful Christmas lights. This dinner is something we look forward to all year. Let me clarify-the dinner is wonderful but the mint chocolate cake is what I look forward to all year. Thanks Dad for footing the bill. Maybe someday we'll all be able to afford our own.
