Christmas Lights

My Chase has an intense love for Christmas lights. He makes sure our lights on our tree are plugged in every morning. If we go to my parents house and their lights aren't plugged in he remedies that too. And he just loves loves loves Christmas lights. On Saturday night we did a family outing to Christmas village in Ogden. It was magical! Chase was so enchanted by the little houses and pretty lights and we all loved watching his little face light up with excitement! And Hudson, as always, was just happy to be along for the ride. He was pretty happy that someone was holding him the whole time.

Afterwards we went out to dinner at an amazing Italian restaurant to celebrate Will's graduation from college (yay! Go Will!). Right when we sat at the table and I glanced at the children's menu, seeing that pizza was an option and concluding that is what we would order Chase. Chase piped right up with, "Yes, I want Oreo pizza!" (Last week the boys and I went out with my dad to visit my grandpa in the hospital and to dinner and Chase loved the Oreo pizza and has been talking about it ever since.) Chase had us all laughing with the way he fully grasped the concept of a waiter and whenever he came by Chase had little requests of him, like informing him that he was out of milk, or that he wanted bread pudding for dessert. Luckily the waiter was super nice and thought Chase was cute as well.

It was such a fun night with the family! The only thing missing was Ben (working) and Nate (came home from college the next day). It is such a blast to spend time together as a family during this magical time of year! Thanks Mom and Dad for an amazing night! And thanks Will for graduating to give us an excuse to all go out to dinner together! (As if we need a reason...)
