Temple lights

We always TRY to make it up to mesa to see the temple lights. This year we made it!We went with Grandma and Grandpa Wing. Aunt Chalice and the kids met us there. It was a nice night to walk the grounds of the temple and look at the lights.
My camera doesn't take very good pictures. This is one of the displays on the temple grounds.
Alex is always looking behind her to make sure I'm still with her. There were a ton of people the night we went.
I don't recall ever seeing some of the lights we saw this year. My favorite are the ones hanging in the palm trees. I also like the huge star above the manger.
While we waited for Aunt Chalice to get there, I took the opportunity to get a cute picture of the girls in front of the temple. They are looking forward to getting married in the temple someday.
Here is a picture of the stable they had set up on the temple grounds. The kids really liked the manger scene. We spent the most time looking at it out of everything.
The girls love their cousins. I was so glad Chalice and the kids could go with us. The girls just love hanging out with Autumn. I think a girls week is in the works for this summer. Should be fun!
The girls having fun looking at all the sights and lights. We had a great time!
The night we went there was a mini concert. A choir sang and some ladies that played bells participated as well. The bells were beautiful and really put us in the Christmas mood. We had pretty good seats and it was really nice music to complete a very fun evening.
We had to get a few pictures of the kids. They were having a ton of fun goofing around together. I love it when the kids get to play with their cousins.
All the kids (big and little) seemed to really enjoy themselves. After the temple lights we went back to Grandma's for a yummy roast dinner. Chalice and the kids came to and we all had a late night visiting with each other. Sleep overs at Grandma's are the best, especially with cousins!

We can't wait to see the lights next year!
