This year we made our annual trip to see the lights a little later then usual. Since we have an extended Christmas break from school we decided to go on a Tues. instead of the weekend. It worked out really well. We would have gone the day before but I had a doctors appt. to tell us we are having another girl! We are pretty excited!
So yes we had to do our usual things. I was surprised at how much MJ remembered and wanted to do. We stopped at Deseret Book and looked at their machine. This year it was an apple juice maker. Last year it was an airplane thing. The kids love looking at the fountains at the malls too.
A little break for the adults as the kids play after lunch.

Ms M did this first and had a HUGE grin on her face. Of course she wouldn't do it again, but I did get brother joining in on the fun.
Last year we skipped the train ride and MJ was furious. So this year we made it a point to ride the train!
Macy's windows are always fun to look at! So creative!
Lastly, Temple Square. We walked around saw the lights. The only bad part was it was pretty chilly this year. The wind was quite bitter and we moved fast to get into warm buildings. Poor Lil wasn't feeling the best either. But she was a trooper and kept a happy face on the entire time.
MJ loves this the best.
We were about ready to leave and I asked MJ if there was anything else she wanted to do. She said she wanted to look at the model of the temple in the other visitor center. So we headed that way. I'm glad we did. Buddy liked looking at it with dad, and MJ asked some really good questions while pointing out her favorite rooms, the baptistery and the celestial room.
While shopping this year, the kids got to pick out one toy they wanted to get. Buddy got a Jake and the Neverland Pirates sword, spyglass, and coins. This is him trying to get Ms M to give back his sword without being mean and just taking it.
Victorious!
We had a great time and can't wait for Christmas to get here!
