Christmas Staycation-Day 3

On our third day of our Staycation we woke up early and met Josh for breakfast at Kneaders (my favorite) on our way back to the school.  If we do this next year, I don't think we will try to go back to school every day, it was crazy.  The boys were so excited to go to their class Christmas parties so we headed back.
That night we went back to Salt Lake and had dinner at Elevations, the restaurant that was in the Marriott.
After that we finally got to Temple Square.  It was fun just walking across the street to get there.  As always we had to go up and see the beautiful statue of Christ.
The temple gate was open that night so the boys were able to go and walk up the steps.
It is always so beautiful on temple square.  it is definitely one of my favorite things that we do during the Christmas season.





Another one of our traditions is to go to the huge Deseret Book store and get some treats at the candy counter.
The boys each get to fill up their own bag of candy and I really think they love it.

Okay so Josh and I love it as well.
This year they had a huge train display with a real train whistle.  Hunter and McKay were huge fans.



Especially of the hats.

Temple Square always feels so Christmasy!

What a wonderful thing to do. It looked like so much fun and they'll never forget it.
