Temple Square Lights

We were able to meet up with my mom and see the lights at temple square on Monday.  We had planned on going there the Saturday after Thanksgiving, but it was insanely crowded!  A lot of people see the lights after Thanksgiving anyway plus there was a concert at the tabernacle and a Jazz game!  Too much traffic, no place to park and not worth trying to fight the crowd; so we went home.  It was hardly crowded on Monday and it wasn't that cold either, so it worked out great.  Beforehand, we ate dinner at the Cheesecake Factory.  It was delicious and I was able to try the seasonal peppermint bark cheesecake which was so good!  While waiting for my mom to arrive, we went to the Disney Store to look around.  Kylie has a new favorite princess--Rapunzel!  She is obsessed with watching Tangled more than Frozen and could not stop looking at anything Rapunzel.  The Disney Store is heaven for Kylie.

After seeing the lights, we went and watched Scott play soccer.  Despite how tired Kylie was, she did great and had fun climbing up and down the stairs at the soccer game.  Since we're living in Utah, I think it makes sense that seeing the lights at temple square should be a tradition every year.  We did notice that there seemed to not be as many lights as years past, so we wonder if it was a money issue, but it wasn't lit up as usual.  It's still pretty, though.  I also forgot my real camera, so these are all phone pictures and they're not the best quality.
