I used to love to make the trip downtown every year to see the Christmas lights. It has been a few years since we have actually gotten out of the car and walked around Temple Square to look at the lights. This year we decided since it didn't quite feel like winter outside yet that we would brave the elements-and the people-and take the kids to see the lights. This year was a little different though. They were in awe of the big statue of Christ in the Visitors Center. McKade was dead set on waiting for the Nativity to start but we really didn't want to stand in the cold for 1/2 hour. They asked questions about the temple and why there were girl Missionaries. We talked to them about the Temple and Joseph Smith. I think this was the first year that I actually appreciated taking my kids out in the cold to see the lights. I know that it's all about "Enjoying the Journey" and thanks to my kids-who teach me something new everyday-so far it's been quite the ride.
