Early New Year's Eve

We've never gone to Salt Lake City's downtown New Year's Celebration called EVE, but we wanted to entertain Aunt Jo this year and we're always up for trying new things, so we bought Jazz tickets and got our complimentary EVE passes.

We headed downtown with Aunt Jo and rushed to Clark Planetarium to get tickets

to Let It Snow, which is a Christmas song movie and laser show in the dome theater. As we reclined in our seats too close to the front, the announcer said, "We'll use lasers during the last ten minutes of the show, so don't try to touch them. They'll kill you, but it's your choice I guess." Everyone laughed at that, but ten minutes into the show when I was slightly nauseated from the spinning candy canes, Ikey looked at me with terror in his eyes and sweaty hands and said, "I really don't like this show. I don't want the lasers!" Jo and I assured him that they weren't deadly and the announcer was just making a joke. Then he LOVED the show. He sang along with all the songs.

The next morning he said that he wanted to make a flat reindeer (see above) from the show so we tracked down some popsicle sticks and he worked on his project for about two hours with no help. Pretty good!

We ran into the ComiCon costume contest and we cuddled up to Darth Vader.

Jovie LOVED the ballroom which was all loud music and flashing lights and 2014 beach balls. She'll definitely be a club kid when she's old enough.

Aunt Jo and Jovie and I tested our skills in HoopDeDoo which was all flashing hula hoops.

Ikey thought all the dance club rooms were too loud, so TB and him headed to BounceTown to climb and slide on things. Here's the movie: http://youtu.be/AiNTGi6mAQA

Then we walked to the Jazz game to meet Grandpa, Sean, and Dallin in the "nosebleed seats."

We got "clown balloons", giant pretzels, corndogs, bratwurst, Philly cheesesteaks.

We took Aunt Jo to a hotel by the airport because she had an early early flight back home the next day. It was a super-exciting early New Year's Eve.
