temple square

last weekend we went to temple square with kendall's brother's family. we met jason, nicole and their kids at the gateway and ate dinner at tucanos. we were really impressed with mckade. he actually enjoyed a lot of food we didn't think he would. he ate chicken hearts and liked them! gage spent a lot of the time feeding kendall and "frying" up some bannana bacon. it was pretty funny. after dinner we road tracks to temple square. the lights looked great as usually. it was so neat to see so many people gathering to see the nativity scene and also the christos. those few moments we had in front of the christos to ponder on the life of our savior was the only time when it was quite. it was a great opportunity to take a few moments in such a large crowd to think of our savior. i couldn't help but think of our sunday school class and how they just light up when they see the picture of the christos. their pure love for christ is so amazing to me and such a strength to my testimony. i am so grateful for this time of year! we really enjoyed our weekend with jason and nicole and were glad that we could also stop and see mark, bryson and brindy. it is great that they live so close to eachother and are in the same ward!
