Christmas at Temple Square

Christmas at the Temple Square in Salt Lake City is one of my earliest memories. It's so amazing to see the lights and to see the nativity. It just overflows with the Christmas spirit for me and I really wanted to take the kids (plus Alex has never been).

The Christus statue is at the visitor's center and is just incredible. Emmett was enjoying himself - especially when two girls sat by him. He did NOT know what to do and looked back and forth at them. Funny kid.

Alex's brother Brannen and his roommate Kelson came down and met us. It was SOOOOoooo cold so it was nice to have some help with the kids while I tried to warm my hands up.

Alex and I cuddling the kids. Did I mention cold?

Amazing white paper bags lined up with the words joy or peace in dozens of different languages.

Love this

Something added since I was a child: Different nativities - I loved this one.


She was so happy!
Amazing! I have no idea how the string lights on every single branch. We can't even get them on our house this year!



This is the Assembly hall. Such a cool building.
