Temple Square
Last night we took a trip up to Salt Lake to go see the lights on Temple Square. Note to self: Never go on a Sunday night this late in the month of December!! It was pandemonium, as Layne would say! So many people but worth it. Julia was more interested in seeing all the water falls and fountains than the lights and kept wanting to get out and touch the water. Oh well, the mind of a 2 year old. It was cold but it didn't seem to bother her. She kept saying she wanted to see baby Jesus so mission accomplished. Went inside for our potty break and they had all the pictures of Christ around the visitors center. She kept telling me she saw Jesus and what he was doing in each picture. She kept looking at the one with Jesus praying in the garden of Gethsemane and was telling me 'Jesus praying.' So poignant, when that is the reason why Jesus was born!! It was wonderful to be a part of all the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season. To experience once again Christmas through the eyes of a child. May I always remember to do that!
