The Christmas Season

We love the Christmas season! Salt Lake City has beautiful lights to look at! One of our favorite things is to shop around the Gateway outdoor mall, though we rarely buy anything! It has been absolutely freezing lately with no snow! We're hoping for a White Christmas, but I think the forecast says otherwise this year!

Warming up by the fire in 30 degree weather!
We were also able to go to Temple Square twice! The first time we went was with the Bellows! It was crazy crowded! The kids loved that we got to ride the "train,"also known as Trax, the city light rail!

A nice family photo walking around the Temple plaza!
Chantilly and Ryan loving the train!

We were able to go back to Temple Square during the day where is was so much more peaceful and serene on the grounds! We saw the nativity scenes and the beautiful statue of Jesus Christ. It is so easy to forget the reason for season: Jesus. It was nice to really think about the Savior's birth and talk about it with our kids looking at the nativity scenes! I am so grateful for our Savior, the real Reason for the Season!
