let there be LIGHTS

We had so much fun freezing our patooties off last night with the Riggs at temple square. THe lights were gorgeous (though the boys seem to think they've scaled down a bit?) and it was nice to get out and do something relaxing and Christmas-ey with our friends. This Holiday season has been a touch too hectic for my taste, so this was a welcome change of pace. 

It was 19 degrees, so the only pic we got with Max was when we transitioned him from the car to the stroller. It was a MAJOR mistake to forget a hat. 

The lovely Hadley had a blast running around with her cousins. For the record, on the way there, she asked her mom if she was going to wear her wedding dress, and then later asked if she was going to see heaven and Jesus at the temple. How SWEET is that? Well Hadee, not LITERALLY, but yes. =)  Then when we were talking about the Nativity scene, she asked if she was going to be able to touch the baby Jesus. Mom and Dad said no, to which she replied 

"oh yea, because we don't have hand sanitizer."

HAAAAA! 

He got to soak in the lights thisaway. 

Really it was that freezing. he has another blanket, a coat and a scarf under there bytheway. 

I was obsessed with the floating candles

It was overall a beautiful night, and a little outing to Litza's Pizza afterwards didn't hurt either. 

mmmmmm....

Thanks for the invite RIGGS!

p.s. some of you remember the post where i mentioned busting out some cool temple shots to sell on etsy? I haven't forgotten. however, my camera bag was stolen with all my lenses but my 50mm f/1.8. A great lens, but rather limiting for this project given the scale of the temple. However, the first shot from this post WILL be added to the collection. It would perhaps be possible to make it available for Christmas. PERHAPS. e-mail me if interested.
