Temple Lights

This weekend we took Merrick and went with Jeremy's family to see the Christmas lights at the Temple. When we pulled in the parking lot Merrick insisted that he not ride in his stroller, but that he walk. He is becoming such a big boy and he did a great job walking and staying with us.

I love this picture even though it is blurry because it shows Merrick grabbing the lights along the walkway. He did this several times as we walked. He would reach out, grab them, and say "pretty".


We took some time to take pictures in front of the Christmas tree.





I think that my favorite part of the night was watching Merrick take it all in. Last year when we went, Merrick just sat bundled up in his stroller and really did not know or care about what was going on. This year he was active and interested. It is amazing how much my baby has grown in a year.
