One of my most favorite things about the holidays are the lights. The lights in your home that make everything seem warmer, the lights outside as you drive around the neighborhood keeping you feeling festive, and of course the lights downtown at Temple Square that make us ooh and ahh and remember the reason for the season.
This year we went with some friends in the neighborhood. They kids are pretty close friends so it was fun to watch them enjoy the lights together. You know how kids are, running around saying things like, "you have to see this, come on!". They even asked me to take pictures of them while we were walking around. It will be nice when they can bring their own cameras along and take their own shots (did I mention Bella and Tess both want a camera for Christmas...love that).
[for all you word lovers out there. This was one of the many lunch sack lanterns they had all lined up. I loved the way they looked and think I will make some for our home. Add that to my list.]
[our friends took this of us]
Megan saw the Christus from the window and wouldn't quite bugging me until we went inside and saw it in person. She is relentless. I hope this isn't bad to share, but I thought it was funny. When Megan saw the statue of Christ she leaned over to me in a whisper and asked, "Why is Jesus' showing his boob?" It took me a while to recover after that one, but quickly explain boys and girls are different. I guess it gets confusing having all sisters sometimes.
It was the most perfect night. No, there was no snow on the ground, but we weren't freeze either. I've done below zero temps before and would take this any day. It was so nice outside after walking around for a while Megan even took off her coat. Crazy.
I really do love that visiting the temple grounds has become apart of our holiday tradition. I'm evening hoping if we have time we will do it again before the year is through.
