Temple Square Lights!

After we went to the museum (see post after this one) we all went to Temple Square to see the lights. Seeing the lights should be another thing to add to your bucket list if you have not done it before! It is so beautiful and peaceful. I love seeing the lights, listening to the choirs perform, looking at the beautiful Christmas decor, and making memories with my family.

It was pretty cold out, but that did not seem to bother anyone (until the very end, Ha.) Even Oakland was content the entire time!

The trees with the bright red lights were mine and Erin's favorites.....
Nicki, Brian, and Kristian.....

Grandma and Grandpa Gifford with the grandkids that were hanging around at the time :)
Behind the temple there is a beautiful reflecting pool. On the pool they had little floating candles and this beautiful Nativity! Did I mention how beautiful it was?!!!
Another group shot (still missing some though!!!)
The kids were little Popsicles by the time we got back to the car, but after some hot chocolate they were back to normal! Can't wait to go again next year!

I must admit I hate the cold too. But the gorgeous scenery and the fun things to do all year round make it worth living here. Family too. JK
