Night Lights

Every year we try to see the lights downtown at Christmas.  Some- times it works out, sometimes it doesn't.  We planned a night of lights, but it wasn't exactly how I had planned it in my head.  We went to Thanksgiving Point instead of the temple grounds and it was beautiful.  We went with Kris's brother and parents.  The line to get in to their Christmas light extravaganza was backed up at least a mile.  Fortunately, it went very fast, unfortunately, we decided to pile into Rusty and Amy's 12-passenger van and Kodi cried non-stop for a good 45 minutes.  It wasn't until I pulled out the camera and showed her pictures that she calmed down.  Once we started driving through the lights, it was cool.  They did a lot of work, that's for sure.  It's impressive what can be done with lights.

After the lights, we decided to go to Arctic Circle and play in the playland and get some icecream.  Before seeing the lights, the kids played in the Carl's Jr playland for a while.  I think this is the kind of night kids love: playlands and fries, Christmas lights, and playland and icecream.  All the kids were so cute together.  I'm so grateful Kyson has some cousins his age to play with.  He adores his older cousins, but it's nice to have some your own age as well.  Kodi has cousins her age, but she is the only girl.  It'll be interesting as she gets older.
