Last Friday we met Grandma and Grandpa downtown to see the lights at temple square. It was so crazy warm that we couldn't pass up the opportunity. You guys played in the cute playland at the shopping center while we waited for Grandma, and then we were off to see the candy windows. They were so cool huh? While we were seeing the windows the lights on temple square came on. We were just in time! We hurried over to the pedestal for family pictures with the temple in the background.
We walked over to the old tabernacle and oohed and aahed over the trees on the way there. Right by the tabernacle was a little disappointing. We didn't know that all of those big trees are not lit any more. But the manger scene is cool, with the beautiful Mormon Tabernacle Choir broadcasting over there. They sang my favorite version of one of my very favorite Christmas songs, The First Noel.
I wanted to experiment a little more with the camera and the tripod, but at this point you guys were all starving and ready to move on. We walked through temple square and headed back to the shopping center to try to get some dinner at the food court there. Every time we passed a water fountain Mr T was mesmerized by it. You wanted to touch it and watch it for ever. So of course the we stopped for to watch the water at the City Creek too:
It was a mad house in the food court though! The lines were so long and every table was packed. So we decided after a while of debating that we would just leave and eat somewhere else. We got burgers and fries with Grandma and Grandpa in Sugarhouse instead. That's always fun and everyone loved that! Even Baby ate a few bites of burger to go with his ketchup and fries.
To finish off the night we stopped by Nana and Scott's home. We gave them our Christmas present and they gave us ours. We chatted for a little bit while you guys played with your stickers from them. I'm sure Nana had to wipe down every table and cabinet and door after we left. It was hard to keep the boys from getting their grimy hands on all of the glass in their house. When Baby started to have an I'm-too-tired melt down, it was time for a picture and our goodbyes.
It was a pretty fantastic night though, and we got some pretty great pictures too.
Thanks for coming along with us.
I love you,
Mom
