On Tuesday, 12/29, we took the Trax train downtown to Temple Square.[that's me putting my hat on James, Heidi, and Addie]

Before watching the movie at teh JSMB, we took the kids up to the roof to see the temple.

James was the only kid to notice that the Nutcrackers guarding The Roof were functional...
...and they could bite Addie!
Brittany, Tarah and Brandon with the Nutcracker.

We took the kids to watch the Joseph Smith movie at 4:30 pm (and it was wonderful for them--everyone was mesmerized, except for Heidi, whom I had to take to the bathroom at about 40 minutes in and missed the ending, but I've seen it several times). Anyway, when we came out of the building at 5:40, all the lights were on! It was amazing!

There were hundreds of beautiful luminarias around the church office building, including this cool one in Slovenian (reminded us of the Blatters' mission to Croatia).
Two happy families at Temple Square!

I'm jealous!! Having only been to temple Square ONCE (and it was with you!!) I so want to go in the winter when the lights are so beautiful!! What fun memories !! Glad you guys are having a good time, see ya soon!
I am convinced Heidi has a cloking divice that she has not yet learned to control. When she figures it out she will be impossible to find. Lets hope that when the time comes, she uses her powers for good...(Willis)
argh! I was at Temple Square on the 29th too!
I really loved seeing Erin and her adorable talented kids! I was quite impressed. They are so smart.
So fun! Wish I could play!
