Temple Square Lights

This year when we went to see the Temple lights we went with another idea in mind. We decided to seek out Christ just like the Wise Men did. So our first stop was the nativity. The kids loved watching it light up. They loved the star but most of all they loved the baby Jesus. We had great intentions of going up to see the Statue of Christ but the line was out of control so we just looked from the window. There really isn't a prettier place at Christmas time.  The lights were amazing. 

We almost bagged it when we couldn't find parking but I am really glad we held out.
The colors were amazing, and the kids love it.
Elsie asked if we could go inside the temple and see Jesus.  How sweet is she.



It is funny because every year we dread going and fighting the crowds and staying warm, but every year we walk away loving every minute of it.  This year we went up into the Joseph Smith Memorial Building to look out the windows.  It is spectacular from up there.  Now it feels a little more like Christmas.
