Temple Square Visit

While we were in Utah for Thanksgiving we made the mandatory trip to Salt Lake to see the temple lights. They were, as always, beautiful. This has to be one of my all-time favorite Christmas traditions.


Viv and I getting all bundled up to go out in the freezing cold. Since becoming accustomed to the mild California weather, I have become the biggest cold wimp of all time.


Viv and I freezing together.


Haylee, Jake, Ashlee and Abby--all looking much older than I remember them!!!


Viv with Grandma and Grandpa.


Grandpa Alden was kind enough to entertain Viv for a good part of the trip. She LOVES him. He is such a fun grandpa.


Family photo #289 where Viv is looking at something more exciting than the camera.


Viv rescuing Elmo from the Navity shepherds (to whom she had just launched him).


Clayton, Jillaire and Carli did not seem nearly as cold as we weather wimps.


Eliza has to be one of the sweetest little girls I know. When Viv arrived to see her, she had a present all ready for her that she had made. It was a paper bag with her own treasures (jewels, shells, etc.) that she wanted to give to Viv. Apparently she does this whenever anticipated guests arrive. I LOVE her!


Viv took a particular liking to Carli who had fun showing her around temple square.

I just knew if I checked your blog today you would have an update - and you did (you haven't forgotten that I am psychic have you?). Vivi looks very cute in her sheep costume and it was fun to see the pictures from your visit to temple square. I honestly haven't even been to see the lights for a couple of years and I love 10 minutes away - I am bad. Let me know when you will be home next. Luv, me
