Well, another year has come and gone and just like that it is 2014. I am hoping this will be our best year yet... and it has already starting off with a bang! My birthday happens to fall right at the beginning of the new year, so it is always fun trying to think of new things to do around snowy Utah to celebrate.
This year I was so excited to learn that the Ice Castles in Midway were back in business! Since I had to work on my birthday (side note: it stinks to grow up and join the real world) we decided to go to dinner on my birthday and save the Ice Castles for the day after.
Let me tell you, folks: the Ice Castles did not disappoint. I had never been but had seen pictures and always wanted to go. They were SO beautiful, unexpected and magnificent... almost beyond description. If you haven't had the chance to check them out yet, I would highly recommend them :) Plus, with the newly debuted movie "Frozen" on the brain, it made it even cooler that I got to feel like I was in one of Elsa's fabulous wintery creations.
I got a little carried away with taking pictures, but I wanted to try to remember the ambiance and beauty! I hope you enjoy some pictures and that it probes you to check them out in real life.

| Probably my favorite picture from the whole night. The ice castle seemed to be glowing and the sunset was crazy beautiful! |

| Once the sun goes down, they turn on some LED lights in the castles and they change colors every few minutes... simply magical! |

WOW!!! Clearly mom and I need to go. Nat, those are some of the most surreal, beautiful, magical pictures I've ever seen. You two look amazing in them. Mom wants to wait for Allegra and the kids to come out first. I hope they don't melt too soon…...
Nat I still can't get over how awesome these photos are. Holy crap!!!!! The color of the ice reminds me so much of the glaciers we climbed in Alaska. Breathtaking! your photo skills are the bomb!
