Christmas at Temple Square... in Utah... Woohoo!


The kids and I were so excited to finally get to Utah.  We had a good flight (except for a few escalator episodes one resulting in Faith falling and cutting her head... sad. )
My Mom & Dad, brother Aaron with his family, and my little sister Moriann all met us at the airport.
Then we went to Temple Square to see the lights, the temple and of course the Christas.


This was the 1st time the kids have seen the Salt Lake Temple and temple square.  It's the 1st time I've been able to come and see the Christmas lights.  Of course it was a beautiful at night.



This is Carly's favorite tree on temple square.  Isn't my family lovely?!!!


The Joseph Smith Memorial building.   People who live in Utah are so lucky.  So much heritage so close.  It was so wonderful to go and see everything.

Adon, Grandpa and of course my little Faith.

A beautiful nativity on the reflecting pool outside the temple.

My little brother Aaron,  with his wife Carly, Adon & Collin.
 

We had such a wonderful time, and it was such a blessing to be here.  I just wish Brent could have been with us.   We miss him so much already!

What beautiful pictures!! I am so glad you were able to come to visit, You have been missed by all. I didnt know if you had heard, Lorraine Walker has cancer, it is breast cancer and she has started Chemo. She gets surgery in January and then starts radiation after that I just thought I would let you know since we went visiting teaching to her. Hope you have a great visit.
