We've been going to Temple Square every year since Alli was a baby (and probably even before). But last year we started something new that I love and want to make a tradition. After freezing in the cold winter air looking at the awesome lights on Temple Square, we head home and build a fire in our living room fireplace and make hot chocolate. Last night we spread a big blanket on the floor and had donuts and hot chocolate and told Christmas stories and our favorite memories and Christmas traditions. Matt and I told the kids our favorite memories of Christmas' when we were young (which our kids love hearing stories of our childhoods). It was so fun and I defintely want to keep this one up!
Owen definitely had the best (and warmest) seat!
