Tonight, Christmas Eve- we went to visit Temple Square in Salt Lake City.It wasn't even crowded- at all. The visitors centers were closed- there were no missionaries around- but it wasn't empty. It was really nice & not too cold- a balmy 37 degrees! Not bad for night time these days- (it's the warm before the storm.) Tomorrow, Christmas day- we are supposed to get more snow.
( I don't know why TRent does this look every time I take his picture... lately?)
It was really fun to be here tonight. 
Jack even took a self portrait with me :)
Notice the beanies- Jack & Chloe are wearing beanies from Chile. Part of the presents the missionary sent yesterday. They say CHILOE on them- that's the island he is on right now.
Someone wanted to go home & not be here at all.

It was really fun to be here tonight. The Christmas spirit was in the air.
The Nativity displays were beautiful- my pictures didn't turn out too good though.
The Nativity displays were beautiful- my pictures didn't turn out too good though. I would say, "Look at the Nativities!" and Trent would say, "I don't want to do the activities!"
Oh boy- NO the NATivities!... Oh ya- oops.

Someone wanted to go home & not be here at all.He wanted to be home opening our traditional ONE present from G & Grandpa, then eat our traditional dinner of hoagies & floats.
On the way back to the car- Brett asked him if they should do rock, paper, scissors to determine if we should keep the traditions-

merry Christmas! i'm so glad the traditions won :)
we tracked Santa, and jack somehow was able to make himself fall asleep just as Santa *arrived* in Charlotte, NC. another year of believing...priceless!
Merry Christmas! I love temple square all lit up. What a fun way to spend Christmas Eve.
That seems like the perfect place to go on Christmas Eve! I'm a little bummed out we never made it down there this year.
We never made it there this year either...we're usually there every couple of years...so next year for sure.
Are you going to make that a Christmas Eve Tradition along with the floats and hogies?
