Temple Square

On Wednesday, December 15th, 2010 we bundled up in our never-been-worn thermal underwear, heavy coats (except for Shelby who had left hers at the Church the week before) and drove down to Temple Square to see the lights since we hadn't made it down there the last two years. We love going down there. It's such a beautiful atmosphere filled with the Christmas Story and music and thousands and thousands of twinkling lights mixed in with the ever-present, "How much longer," "I'm cold," and, "Can we go yet?" It's something I look forward to every year. I really do! This was Austin's first year and he did really well thanks to the stroller! :)

This was inside the Assembly Hall. They had a bunch of high school choirs doing concerts. So we came inside for a few minutes and listened to a few songs. I would have loved to have stayed longer because they were REALLY good but Austin had had enough and started crawling underneath the benches and if you've ever been inside the Assembly Hall you know there's not a lot of room to maneuver. So instead of either one of getting stuck trying to get him to stay on our bench we decided to let everybody else enjoy themselves and we left.


My three handsome men!

This was outside in the Plaza. We walked around where they have those old fountains that go from the Beehive House down to the Plaza and Austin, for some reason that we didn't quite get, loved being able to see the water and cried, "Water," every time we went away from the water. So we had make an attempt to keep him by the water as we were walking. What a weird kid! He made us laugh though!

After we were done and almost everyone was frozen we made the trek back to the car where we had brought our own hot chocolate. It was still hot from being in the thermos the whole time. I think this was their favorite part of the whole night! It was good hot chocolate if I do say so myself...mmm, mmm, mmm.
