2 days down

Kersten's family has a tradition that on the day after Thanksgiving
They rent a room at the Plaza hotel.
We eat yummy meats. cheese, crackers and eclairs.
Bundle up really warm.
And then walk around Temple Square
to see all the magical twinkling lights.

There are lots of dark pink, orange and blue mixed with green this year.
I was blessed to walk around with Noah.
His hand in mine.
A couple times he put his hands in my coat pockets for warmth.
He showed me which lights were his favorite.
His face lit up as he saw the temple. 
He marveled at the reflection pond where you can see 
the temple's reflection in the water.
With candles floating all around.
He loved blowing air out so you could see his breath.
And he gave me lots of hugs.
Even though we have done this every year of his life.
I think this year will be one he'll remember.
My boy has an amazing spirit and open heart.
Plus,  he saved his grandparents from a giant man-eating squid.
It was living in their bathtub at the hotel.
