So we FINALLY made it to Temple Square to see the lights! What a relief that was ;). I was seriously stressing that we weren't going to make it :). Sounds extreme, I know, but that is seriously one of the biggest highlights of my holiday season. Everything about that place reminds me and takes me back to when Nate and I were dating. It's just a magical place. I love the feeling there too. The Spirit of it all is incredible.
So since the Idaho Maynes' were going we decided we'd just tag-a-long with them :).
We met up in the North Visitor's Center, looked around there for a while and then went out to see the lights.
I loved going seeing new areas of temple square I'd never really been. That's what's fun about going with other people. And they take pictures for ya :)
I just had to put both of these, one with our Angry Bird son
and one with Luke :)
Unfortunately they had to leave earlier than we thought, to get back on the road home, so it was a short little hang out. But we loved it! We are so happy when we get to spend time with them. Our kids and their kids get along so well. It's just fun.
After they left, we went over to "our spot" where Nate proposed and found that the whole area was being used for snow removal. There was a huge mountain of snow blocking the waterfall and "seat". That was a bit of a bummer, but then Nate reminded me that it was the "perfect view of the temple" that made that spot special,l so we decided to just turn around and take a picture there :).
If only I could photoshop the two shots I got, one with the temple all lit up and blacked out family with the this one where the temple isn't as bright as I'd like it. Oh well. So anyway- good times :). I can't believe I didn't have someone take a picture of Nate and I together!
We did get one of me and the kids :) Which we never do! See posterity!! I did exist!
Charity got this picture of the latern in Manual :) Nice job, Charity!
And this one too. Very cool.
The rest of these are her works of art as well. Such a beautiful place to spend a Sunday evening.
The "bubble lights"... my favorite :)
