For the past three years during our Christmas visits to Utah we've gone to see the Zoo Lights at Hogle Zoo. We got the girls all bundled up, packed every once of snuggle gear we brought to Utah, then hopped in the car ready for a night of cold lights. It wasn't until we were about half-way there that Bruce had the brilliant idea of checking to make sure they were open. It's a good thing we did because the zoo didn't light their lights for two more days. Apparently not everyone in Utah operates on the Rogers' 2010 Christmas schedule. Since we were all ready to go anyway, we decided to go to Temple Square and see the lights. It seemed like they had really cut back on the lights this year. The walk-way in front of the temple wasn't lit and it was a little disappointing. However, it brought more attention to the temple and maybe that was the purpose-to remind us why we were there.
There were some fun red lights by the Assembly Hall.
And the plaza was decorated with white lights surrounding the beautiful nativity scene out there. My favorite part is Mary and Joseph with Baby Jesus on the reflecting pool. It is so peaceful.
We visited some of the other cultural nativities up by the Church Office building. Bruce will be transfering to China for his next job rotation so we had to get a picture by the Asian-inspired nativity.
Then we had some fun on the pedestal.
When Cambrie climbed out from under her blanket she was shocked that she was still warm. You see, she didn't believe me that's why I insisted she wear her snow pants, snow coat, hat, gloves, and boots. Mom always knows best :)
Bruce and Leesa were married in the Salt Lake Temple and this picture is reminiscent of their wedding years ago. Thanks for taking us for a very fun evening :)
