Kason's Birthday Party

Downtown Excursion

Last weekend we took Frontrunner* to Salt Lake. We went with Shawn's sister, her friend, and shawn's brother's family. We have never been on Frontrunner and thought this would be so fun for Kason. Here's Shawn and Kason on the train:
When we got off Frontrunner, we got on TRAX* and rode that to Trolley Square. We ate dinner at the Spaghetti Factory (YUM!) and saw Santa. I wasn't really sure how Kason would do sitting on a "stranger's" lap (this would be the first time even attempting it), but to my surprise, he did great! He stayed on his lap long enough for me to get a picture haha!

Then it was back on TRAX to go to Temple Square. The lights on Temple Square are incredible and we knew Kason would love it (every time we drive by a house with Christmas lights, he yells "Mommy, Mommy, Mommy!")!

Cool red tree:

Kason had so much fun!

Beautiful Lights:

We then got back on TRAX which took us to Frontrunner; we got back on that and rode ut home. It was super cold, but we had so much fun - a great way to start the Christmas season!

*For those that don't know: Frontrunner is a train that goes from Ogden, Utah to Salt Lake City, Utah (making a few stops a long the way). TRAX is a lightrail system that goes through Downtown Salt Lake and will take you further south to Sandy, Utah.

Christmas Tree Hunting

We went down to Shawn's parents for Thanksgiving. Of course I didn't get any pictures on Thanksgiving, but the day after, we went to the Ranch and hunted for Christmas trees. It was more for Shawn's parents than us (Shawn didn't want to deal with a real Christmas tree, which means, YES we have a FAKE tree!!!) but the boys had a GREAT time!

After all that running around, Kason fell asleep on the way home. He musy have been pretty exhausted because usually he'll wake up when the car stops, but he wouldn't wake up for anything! He even slept sitting up hahaha!
