So.....on December 7th, the Young Women's president, her husband and I took one of the Laurels and my Beehives to Temple Square to see the lights. We had a little rocky start with the baby fussing, but after she settled down, things were excellent. When we got there, Whitney had to feed the baby, so I took the girls and went ahead. We got to see Nativities representing all the nations/cultures, the girls and Whitney lied down and looked up at the Church Office Buildings, and we even ran into Buddy the Elf and Santa Claus.
When it was the Beehive's turn to see them, as they were approaching Buddy and Santa, Buddy turned to one of the girls and said "Come stand by me Jessica". Jessica freaked out and took off down the street not realizing that he knew her name because it was sewn on her Jacket. We had a really good laugh at that, AFTER she came back and stood by him. On our way back to the car, she walked as close to the street and as far away from him as she could, calling him a creeper.
We found a grocery store on the way back to the car, where I saw the "New" Coke Fountain drink dispensers, and got a PEACH Fanta! The girls thought it was awesome (the machine) and the Fanta was the best I've ever had. We had a lot of fun, and though the drive down and back took longer than we did at Temple Square, we made memories that will never go away. It was an awesome night even though there were others that we missed because they couldn't make it.
