Lights at Temple Square

Debbie and I spent the evening in Salt Lake earlier this week with my sisters and their families.  We started out with dinner at Applebee's and hopped a train downtown to Temple Square.
It was very busy for a week night.  The lights are amazing!  It seems that every branch of every tree has lights on them. 
 The nicest thing about temple square is that I heard so many people wishing "Merry Christmas" and not "Happy Holidays."  It is also entirely centered on Jesus Christ.  That really put us in the true holiday spirit.
We walked around Temple Square and then to the Main Street Plaza and into the Joseph Smith Building to see the view from the top.
After we were frozen and tired we took the train back to the Gateway for some hot chocolate and carmel apple cider at Starbucks.
What a fun evening with the family!  We wish everyone could have been with us!

We did the whole trax-temple square thing this week too! It's too bad we didn't run across each other!
