There is nothing more beautiful than the Salt Lake Temple when it is lit up with Christmas lights. We have made an annual trip to see the lights the weekend of Thanksgiving, for many years. It starts off our holiday season with the right tone and helps us get in the right spirit. Jensen hasn't been in the Conference Center before and so we decided we would go into the Assembly Hall first, then the Tabernacle and then we went on a tour of the Conference Center. Those three buildings were proof of how the Church is growing and how important it is that the members are able to attend Conference and other important meetings of the Church. We went into the Hall of the Prophets and saw the oil paintings of the Apostles and other prophets and leaders of the Church. It was very interesting. I was glad that we were able to do this. We always park at the Gateway and ride Trax to Temple Square. It always makes for great pictures. We ate at Rumbi. Its all the about the food..... So glad that we have this tradition, that we can spend together as a family and start the Christmas season! We are so blessed to live so close to so many temples and blessed that we are able to have so many great experiences, especially together.
Our oldest daughter was married on February 25, 2010 to her eternal companion Kyle J Henrie, in the Manti Temple. They currently live in Springville, Utah. They love married life and increased their family size by giving us a darling grandson, Wyatt J Henrie on July 12, 2012.
