Christmas Lights at Temple Square

Last night Sam (Dallas' dad) and I took all the kids to Temple Square to see the lights. Nena was not feeling well and Dallas had to work. The weather was pretty nice, not to cold, and pretty clear. It was extremely crowded though and it took awhile to find parking. Once we got onto Temple square there was a much calmer feeling and we were able to enjoy ourselves. The girls even got along for the most part. One of my favorite things to see was the nativity scene they have place on the viewing pond in front of the Temple. It reflects back perfectly, and it takes a second to really take in the scene. The kids loved the big Christmas trees made of light at two of the entrances and the pathway of lighted trees. I am so grateful that we are able to be in Utah at this time of year and see such beauty and be reminded of our Saviour at this wonderful place.
