TRADITION--LIGHTS aka A Perfect Day

Another day of tradition. You see we are creatures of habit. We do something once, we usually do it again, and once you've done that well...TRADITION.

Mike and I started going to see the Christmas lights in Salt Lake City the year we met. It was actually the time I first knew I would marry him even though I didn't know his last name yet. But that's another story.

We have gone to visit the lights as a family ever since. Last year we added a train ride to the equation and now Frnt Rnner as Ethan called it is a tradition. Yesterday we had our perfect day.

Train ride, dinner at the Old Spaghetti Factory, A serendipitous meeting with Santa and of course lights. Here are some of my favorite images of the evening.
CONFIDENTIAL TO BROOKE & HER MOM: I can't wait for our next night at the lights and another tradition. And to Brooke's Mom...dress warm! :)

CONFIDENTIAL TO ANYONE WONDERING WHY I WOULD PUT A PICTURE OF SAVANNA LIKE THAT IN A PERFECT DAY POST: Isn't she cute? She was mad at me for putting 2 ponytails in her hair instead of one...or was it she was mad because she couldn't drink my entire bottle of water in one sitting. Who knows...but it was a good photographic moment none the less.

I love all your traditions.

Grumpy face is my favorite picture...well...they all are my favorite.

I love little Savanah's meltdown moment. It wouldn't be a family outing without someone pitching a fit, right?

Kat said...

Yep, Brenda. It's a tradition!

I too love the picture of grumpy Savanna. Lately I just giggle when I see kids pouting or throwing a fit - maybe it's my mind preparing me for dealing with it when it's my child.

But I also love the picture of Ethan and Tim.

Oh, and I can't wait to take Ken to Temple Square to see the lights in a few weeks - it's always been a fun tradition of mine (when I lived in UT) and now I get to share it with my husband :)

I just LOVE the black and white picture, I think pictures are 10 times better when they are black and white.
