Temple Square Lights

On Sunday we went to see the lights on Temple Square with Jeff's sister Joy and her her family. We drove down to the trax station, then got to ride on the train to Temple Square. Zaylee was so excited to ride on a train!

The lights were just beautiful. I tried several times to get a good picture of the actual lights, but I couldn't figure out the best settings on the camera for it, and the batteries were running low. So I focused on pictures of other things. Here are the kids, all bundled up in the stroller and excited to be out and about.


I took several pictures of the Temple, but this one turned out best. I love the unique angle.


They had beautiful nativities set up all over Temple Square. This one was in the middle of a pool surrounded by floating lights.


And I absolutely had to take pictures of this one - a Japanese nativity, just like little kokeshi dolls. Mom will love this one - she has a wonderful little collection of kokeshi dolls. Each of these little figures was about 2 or 3 feet tall.



About this time my camera batteries died. It took me several tries to get the Japanese nativity pictures. So the rest of the time I just focused on looking around, enjoying myself, and keeping Zaylee and Thomas from throwing fits because they were tired and cold. All in all it was a good evening, and I'm glad we were able to go out and spend time with Joy and Jim and their kids.

Yesterday we got to enjoy some beautiful snowy weather. Zaylee kept climbing up to the windowsill to look at all the snowflakes falling - it's hard to see in the picture but we were getting some pretty large flakes!


I'm thinking of making those eggnog truffle cups today, because making sweets seems like the perfect way to spend a cold, wintery day!
