Good Times

We went to Temple Square for the holiday season and enjoyed the beautiful Christmas Lights, "Piper Bob" (playing the bagpipes), great company with good friends and lots of happiness.

Our friends Layne and Caitlyn came with us. We ate dinner at the Nauvoo Cafe which has the best turkey sandwiches with this orange cranberry sauce that's to die for and took a carriage ride, which I've been wanting to do for years. It was the kids favorite part of the night (the horses name was Charlie). It was a fairly warm night and not very crowded at all.

I'm amazed at how, as a child the lights on Temple Square were so magical, but as an adult the magic has seemed to have faded. The temple though, is still just as peaceful looking as it ever has looked and felt before. It truly is a wonderful place to spend time....makes my heart at ease (and anyone that knows me, knows I'm not the "cheesy" type, but I really mean this).

Thank you Layne and Caitlyn for going with us! ;)
