Temple Square

Future mental note....never attempt Temple Square on a Friday night. After being stuck in downtown traffic forEver on South Temple, we finally found a parking garage and, after parking on the very top roof, were on our way to see the lights. That's about when I realized it was way too cold to attempt such an activity in December. But since that's the only time the lights are actually on...I decided to brave it.
In my spontaneity I decided to invite Bryce, Jonah's former 9-year-old best friend from Draper, to go along with us and later spend the night. Because Jonah's normally calm-mannered, I didn't realize what I was in for. They were literally bouncing and jumping the whole time! But we managed to see pretty much everything and make it back to the car alive and only partially-frozen an hour later...and I only had to carry Ash a few blocks :*)

After Jase serinaded us in the car with Christmas music, we made it home and the boys peacefully drifted to sleep (after some Nerf gun wars and chatting, of course!). It was definitely a night to remember. Another mental note for next year....only one 4th grader necessary.
