The Star

We finally got to the Mesa Temple tonight to see the Christmas lights before the end of this wonderful holiday season. It was still pretty crowded for being the 30th of December. Carter was a bit grumpy, but I just knew the boys were going to love all the lights. Boy was I WRONG….at least about Andrew. Carter was fine and was pretty good in the stroller, but Andrew was not thrilled at all! He was a little timid and nervous at first, but as we approached the nativity scene with the large, beautiful star up high Andrew was trying to sink back into the stroller to get as far away from the star as possible. The child was afraid of the star…not just any star…. “the star”. Oh I love my son – sweet little Andrew….but, it did not end there. He liked the water and the lights by the flowers, but we couldn’t leave without seeing the camels – they are a highlight of the Mesa Temple lights. We told him we were going to see the camels and he was excited and kept saying “camel, camel.” Buuuuut of course, he was not a big fan of these either! We had the missionaries snap a picture of us by the camels, but we had to make it fast because heaven forbid we get within 50 feet of the camels! It was a fun night though and I am glad we went! Maybe next year the boys will like the lights better!Andrew was still talking about the star when we got home. “Star….scared…” Nice – my son is scared of a Christmas star. Good thing he is cute and I love him!
