Saturday night on the town....

First we went to the BYU v. Utah State basket ball game. I wasn't super excited about it, but the tickets were free so off we went. It actually turned out to be really fun. There were TONS of people there, way more than I expected and the Utah State fans were super energetic and crazy.

Here are the kids in front of Energy Solutions Arena
(Delta Center still sounds better if you ask me.)


Since we were going to be in Salt Lake City, we decided we'd go see the lights at Temple Square! It was SUPER packed. There were people everywhere, it was kind of hard to get around, but we still had fun (after the kids stopped whining about being thirsty....seriously you would have thought they hadn't had a drink in months!)

The nativity scene in the reflecting pool in front of the temple. It was so pretty!


All of us in front of a huge Christmas tree made of lights

Looking out from the top story of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building....awesome view!
Not long after we got there, Claire was out and stayed out the whole time.....too bad we forgot the stroller!


I know I'm blocking Claire....I had to do it to keep Caleb from spinning while the nice strangers were patiently waiting to take our picture....ughh!!
A lot of you have probably seen it in person, but if you haven't....
They have a narration of the story of the birth of Jesus on a big lawn at Temple Square with life size figurines.

FUN!! You guys are ALWAYS out and about. I guess we would be too if we didn't live in all these tiny Air Force towns with NOTHING to do!!
Your kids are SO cute!! I wish we lived closer our kids would play so well!!
