It's cold outside and the inversion has set in, so it's smoggy outside. Since it's going to get colder, we thought we should head downtown to Temple Square to see the Christmas lights.
It was very crowded. But we made our way to the nativity and watched as the story was narrated. It was beautifully done and all enjoyed seeing it. Lizzy (my three year old) kept telling everyone to be quiet so they don't wake up the baby Jesus.
The nativity presentation was long enough that we were all cold and ready to go inside the North Visitor's Center to warm up a bit.
We wheeled Mom up the ramp to see the beautiful statue of the Savior. There were so many people there we couldn't get pictures any closer.
Soon we were outside again looking at the lights. I didn't get very many good pictures of the lights because I had to try to keep up with everyone and didn't want to loose any children.
Mom was well bundled!

It was a beautiful night, and we were so glad we were able to share this experience with Mom and Dad. And at this point we were ready for some hot chocolate!
So back to Mom and Dad's apartment we went, and Grandpa made everyone some wonderful hot chocolate.

We made another great memory tonight. We are so blessed and grateful that we are able to spend this Christmas with Mom and Dad.
