Happy Birthday Mom!

Mom's birthday came on the 7th of December. No really sure what to do we decided to have the Heinrichs clan head down town to the Joseph Smith Memorial Building and we would have a nice dinner at the Garden then we could look at the lights afterward.

We made reservations for 6:30 pm, but with traffic and parking we all ended up arriving a little after 6:30. The weather was cold and you could see your breath when the oxygen escaped from your nose or mounth. The twinkling lights throughout Temple Square took your breath away.


Jack and Abi by the waiting window looking down at the twinkling TempleSquare.


Trying to get the rest of the cousins to look out the window at the same time.


Riley, Abi and Jack


A great picture of temple square, too bad you can see a little bit of the waiting area inside the Joseph Smith Building.


While looking out the window wasn't enough, the kids would have love to actually get in a swim, but that was not an option.


Riley, Zach, Abi and Jack - the only cousin we are missing is Kaymbria, but you can see her foot dangling from behind Zach.


Family pose and ofcoarse Jack playing peekaboo.

 

Getting a shot of Mom, Logan and Brooke while having an animated conversation.


Trying to get the whole table, but was able to get Landon and Cristy down at the end.



The Menu


What cute kids - above and below.



Landon's Family


I got the Chicken Picatta and Jeremy got the Chicken Panini


A really cool tradition The Garden does - if its your birthday they have you write down your wish, then attach it to a baloon, retrack the celiling and have you let the balloon go up into the sky. Here is mom letting go of her balloon wish.


Zach and Abigail dancing.


After dinner we got bundled up and headed downstairs.


In the lobby of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building stand this beautiful tree.


After standing in awe we then headed outside in the cold to view the twinkling lights.



Brooke jumped in my shot, so here is the picture that turned out - itsn't it precious.


Finally a famiy picture under the huge red twinkled tree. Right before we decided to head home due to the kids being done for the day and so ready for bed.

Happy Birthday Mom! I hope all of your wishes came true.
