Liam's 3!!!

 The next morning we woke up and had breakfast at the hotel. We sang to Liam multiple times and he was so excited it was his birthday. Then we headed to the pool. We were the only ones there for most of the time and the kids took advantage splashing and playing games. 

For a month our kids are perfectly spaced again wise. Hallie 12, Gracie 9, Emy 6, and Liam 3. But in a month Gracie will turn 10 so we had to document the moment

After swimming we got packed up and headed home. We grabbed lunch on the road but Liam was really excited to get home and open his gifts. He loved all of them...and I'm pretty sure the girls did as well.

I love how excited he was about his construction toys

Then it was time for cake and ice cream but Liam wanted a Paw Patrol and a tractor cake so we had two different cakes. He didn't love the singing but he was ready to blow out the candles.

I can't believe this sweet little guy of ours is 3. We have been through so much with him and he has come so far. He now has a clean bill of health and acts like a happy active little guy we couldn't be happier. He loves all things construction and trucks and his new love is Paw Patrol. He loves puzzles and to read. He loves sausage, blueberries, and gogurts. He is my little shadow and Im soaking it up the best I can knowing he is our last. He is doing great sleeping through the night but still likes to have a bottle before bed. He is growing great and is getting so tall. He is in a size 3 shirt and pants but in the near future we will have to put him in a 4T because his arms and legs are so long. We are working on bowel training so at some point we can work on potty training but we're not in a rush either. He is in a size 8-8.5 shoe. At his 3 yr check up. Height 38.5 in and weight 33lbs 6oz

Luminaria

 I have heard about the Luminaria at Thanksgiving Point for years but have never been so this year we decided to try it out. Overall it was super awesome. Anytime we head to Utah county we see what Andy and Ari are doing. We always have a really good time with them. We had dinner at Pizza Pie Cafe first with them and then headed to Thanksgiving point. I had packed all of our snow clothes and also hand warmers in case it was cold. It was beautiful form the time we walked in.

Eight kids between the 2 couples

This is what happens when you give Andy the camera to take our family picture.

This area was all lit up with flowers and they had something spraying that also made it smell like flowers

They had a field of light up dots. They were a favorite for sure. They had music playing and when you jumped from dot to dot they changed colors. We spent a fair amount of time here

They even had a river made of blue lights

This life size lite bright was awesome. The kids all loved it.

They had an area where you could play different kinds of instruments 

The next area was more reverent for sure. The true meaning of Christmas shined through

This area was breath taking. The statues were so special

These lights behind Hallie were meant to be flowers and so pretty. At this point everyone was ready to be done so we headed to the exit only to realize that I had dropped my phone at some point. So we used Matt's phone to call it and luckily some random guy answered and told him where my phone was. 

I took the kids to the car while Matt went back to meet the guy and get my phone. Not how we thought the night would end but it was still really great.

Then we headed to the hotel to get some sleep it was a late night but so fun.
