Last night Katy was in charge of our family night, and she surprised us with a trip to see the lights on Temple Square! She made a plan with Dad and off we went. It was really cold and snowing just a little bit. But we had so much fun walking around looking at all the lights, reflection pond, nativities and most of all the temple.
We couldn't keep Katy out of the snow and water. We warned her many times that she would be cold if she got wet. And before we knew it, she had her gloves off in her pockets and wet pants up to her calves. She got a little chilly!
We even got to peek inside both the old tabernacle and the new conference center. We were amazed at the difference in size! We had never been inside the Conference Center, so we were amazed with how big and beautiful it is. We asked our guide lots of questions like . . . How many people can be seated in here? How long did it take to build? Is the Tabernacle Choir preparing for a Christmas Concert soon? Tyler had lots of questions too. He stumped our guide with the question . . . "How many feet high and wide is this building?" LOL! We love our Tyler!
We topped off the night with some hot chocolate chips cookies and ice cream back at home. We are so happy that we were able to go to Salt Lake to see the lights this year. In years past, things have been a little crazy when we've attempted to see the lights. It was fun to be together with our family . . . to think about Christmas and spend a night together. I'm sure this will be something we will never forget!

Awesome! I am trying to plan a trip up there but everything else keeps getting in the way. Nice planning Katy next week would you come plan our family night? Hey and Kelly I can print a picture of your family and take it with me when we go, and then your family can say we went to temple square to see the lights!
Hey and Nicole I have a sweatshirt that is pink with flip-flops on it from a drive in movie in my yard last year. so if you are out and about stop by to get it. I have washed it about a million times and put it somewhere to remember to return and I always forget. You would think I live across the world. Anyway I loved your entry!
