Temple Square

Or, "Square Temple," as Autumn likes to call it!

A few weekends ago I decided it would be fun for us to go to temple square and see the lights as a family. The girls and I picked up something for us to eat for dinner in the car on the way up. Next stop, was picking up James from work, but we had to wait 20 minutes for him to get there from the Provo warehouse and unload the truck full of stuff he had just brought. Then he wanted to stop by Cabela's to possibly use his gift card he had won from his work Christmas party the night before. (Yes, it was burning a hole in his pocket!) Then we got stuck in major traffic for a Jazz game that I had no idea was going on. So after about 3 hours after leaving Payson, we arrived!! Only to find no parking in sight. We ended up parking a few block south by a bank and paying $5 for it. Oh well.

The lights were gorgeous and we caught the very last song of a Christmas Choir singing in that little building on the south west corner. Think it was the first tabernacle? The congregation sung along with the choir to "Silent Night". It was beautiful and the girls loved seeing the temple and the Nativity Scene set up outside the Visitors center. We also listened as the story of Jesus' birth was played over the speakers. Love this time of year! We are so grateful for our Savior and his birth, and we were so happy to go and make a fun memory as a family. We hope to be able to go see the lights every year! It was a late night, but well worth it. They were super easy to put to bed! Merry Christmas to all!!
