Last Wednesday we took all the kids down to Temple Square to see the lights. It's been years since I have been there and we have never been there as a family. It was chilly out, but we bundled up and headed out for a Christmas adventure. It was absolutely picturesque. Spencer snuggled me in his sling, Isaac was cozy in his stroller, and Natali loved running around underneath the magical glow of the lights. I loved it all...the giant red lighted cedar, the row of orange lights by the Assembly Hall, listening to a choir practice in the tabernacle, seeing the array of nativities they had set up, the reflection pool with its floating lights, and listening to Natali & Isaac point out over & over again the angel Moroni.
After walking around we were all ready for dinner we decided to branch out and try something new. We had heard good things about Pat's and had seen it spotlighted on one of our fav. food network shows (yes we are dorks) Dinner's Drive-In's & Dives...Pat's In Your Face BBQ. Oh my it did not disappoint! Some of the best ribs I've ever had...and corn bread...and mashed potatoes.
It was a great evening! You can't help but get into the Christmas spirit after being at Temple Square.

So if you guys are dorks, then SO ARE WE! :) We LOVE Diners, Drive-in's, & Dives!!! It's a regular here in our house!!!
What a fun night!!!!
P.S. my blog is back up and running! :)
Oh my gosh - my sister and I always want to go to places we see on that show (there's a couple other ones downtown)! I'll have to tell her about Pat's, I guess I must have missed that one.
Oh Becca! You are making me so HOMESICK!! I love to go to Temple square. I am also super jealous of your family time- It sounds like you guys had a fun night. We are missing you here, but so glad you are enjoying your time with your family. Hope Spencer is feeling better.
