Going to Temple Square during the holidays is one of those traditions that, sadly, we do not get around to every year. For me, it is one of those things you have to gear up for. The long drive at nights, which almost always means kids falling asleep in the car (which then means a rough bedtime), dressing extra warm for the cold weather, dealing with parking and then the crowds that are always on the Temple grounds. We luckily have friends who invited us this year - on a Monday night, no less (FHE), so off we went. It really is worth it though, getting the family picture with the Temple and Christmas lights is a good moment....again, no Jiles, asleep, and warm in the stroller.
The Griffin and Barnes kids - what great friends.
There are so many different nativities set up all over the place, these were just a couple of our favorites, stiff baby Jesus and marshmallow baby Jesus. Is that inappropriate??
The girls.....
The parents.....
The boys.....
One final picture. During these crazy holiday nights, I am most grateful for my family. For the love and joy that they each bring into my life.

We were there Monday night too. We went on trax and to the free concert at the Enery Solutions thing. It was so crowded that night. I wish we would have ran into you. It's something I have to gear up for too and our neighbors invited us also. It was worth it and a fun adventure. Have a fab Christmas.
I love your family....Im going to start sounding like Aunt Sandy! Really, you have an amazing family, So darling!! Done good Jenn Barnes.
