Temple Lights...

Last Monday we made a last minute decision to go to the Oakland LDS Temple for Family Home Evening and look at the Christmas lights. This is something we did last year with the kids and had a great time!
The temple is always a brightly shining beacon on top of the hill in Oakland, but at Christmas time, it is lit up even more! People from all over travel to see the temple lit up for the Christmas season! We were not going to be the exception this year!
Sealed here nearly 8 years ago! Ryan was so funny! He wanted to show everyone everything and tell everyone where to go! He loved looking at the Nativity! Unfortunately the live nativity wasn't performing that night, but looking at this beautiful Christmas display was amazing! Austin, as usual, wouldn't pause for a second to take a picture so this is what I caught of him as he was running by! Little Angles!!! Ryan telling his friends all about the Baby Jesus who was laying in the manger! Checking out the fountains!

The trip to the Temple really invited the Christmas Spirit and the beautiful Nativity reminded us what Christmas is all about!
