Temple Square

On Saturday we took Trax downtown to see the lights. It was fun. It wasn't too cold, that's always a plus. We walked around the Church Office Building plaza and saw a few Nativities from around the world. On Main Street Plaza was a beautiful white Nativity. Shepherds to the north and Wise Men to the south of the reflection pool. Joseph, Mary and baby Jesus were in the middle of the pool. It was beautiful. Although I miss the big red tree on the South East corner of Temple Square, there are many beautiful, bright white lit trees. There are also many orange and pink trees by the tabernacle. These colors are a little un-traditional, but very pretty. We stopped to see the big Nativity and hear the story. There was a concert going on in the Tabernacle so the the sound was off. I think Judson enjoyed looking at all the lights and the people. There were so many people. It was busy, but we were still able to move in spurts and find unoccupied benches and photo ops. We stopped outside to look at the horsies pulling the carriages. Judson got a kick out of that. He was so excited. He was waving his arms and saying "hee, hee." So cute!! I think that was his favorite part of the night. Judson was a little restless on the train, but all in all it was a fun night. I love Temple Square.

This is Judson's "smile". Whenever I pull out the camera this squinty look is what I get. The second picture is just cute. He's all snuggled up in his winter attire.

The lights and the Temple. So pretty!!

The Christus statue is in the back. You can kind of see it, right?
