During all our years in Utah, we religiously went to see the lights at Temple Square each Christmas. I was sad knowing that we wouldn't be able to do that this year. Luckily, we had an alternative!
After our "date weekend," we picked the kids up from Sjani and Ryan's (where they had a totally awesome time) and then headed over to the Spring Creek Gardens. Sjani and Elli went too, and Grandpa and Grandma McClure and Aunt Kacie met us there. The lights weren't as crazy as those on Temple Square, but it also wasn't nearly as crowded, and Santa was there! We stopped and talked to Santa first, got apple cider while we were in line, and then explored the grounds for awhile. Carson asked Santa for a giant teddy bear, Emma asked for the American Girl doll Saige, and Joely asked for a hippopotamus! It was a great evening. Thanks to Aunt Sjani for suggesting it!
