The Lights at Temple Square

The weekend after Christmas was incredibly calm and relaxing.  We decided to squeeze in a quick trip to Temple Square to finish our trip off right.  My kids had all of their snow gear, so they were bundled up nice and warm.  Poor Stockton, he doesn't need a coat in Texas and had to borrow one of our extra snowsuits.  He was not too happy about being stuffed into purple.  But at least the kid was warm! 

They seem to be rotating which trees they light up.  The big ones down the main walk way were left dark, but there were still some pretty ones lit by the assembly hall where we snapped our first group picture.  

As we continued to walk towards the plaza we passed a group of sister missionaries singing Christmas carols.  McKenzie refused to walk past them.  She wanted to stay and listen.  After about three songs Leesa asked her if she wanted to get her picture taken with the sisters.  After that McKenzie felt like she was ready to move on.  

We stopped to get some hot cocoa and enjoy them in the Joseph Smith Memorial building.  Kelton seems to be looking at Stockton and asking how he enjoyed the extra marshmallows.  

We took our half-full cups with us outside to finish walking the grounds with them.  This is McKenzie's, "This is too hot!" face.  

Our final stop before walking back to the cars was the reflection pond.  It is always so peaceful there with the light floating on the water and the nativity reflecting in the  center.
