FHE in SLC

For family night last night, we went to dinner at the Olive Garden and then toured the lights on Temple Square. The kids were surprised and excited that we had invited a friend to come along with us. Dallin's family lives in Arizona, so we adopted him for the evening. He made the perfect big brother for the kids and we all had a blast.

Our waiter at Olive Garden was really annoying and it took forever to get out of there. The kids began to entertain themselves by taking their hats on and off to see what kind of laughs they would get from the rest of us.

I think the snow was one of the highlights of the evening. Of course we haven't had much snow yet this year, so all the kids were making snowballs and throwing them at each other. Finally Spencer made a huge snowball and carried it around with him. I think he would have taken it home with us if we hadn't refused to allow it into the car. Spencer said we should put a photo of the snowball in our christmas cards with a poem from Shel Silverstein:

I made myself a snowball
As perfect as could be.
I thought I'd keep it as a pet
And let it sleep with me.
I made it some pajamas
And a pillow for its head.
Then last night it ran away,
But first it wet the bed.
