One afternoon we went to see Yogi Bear the movie and than for dinner at our favorite Utah burger place, Crown Burger. After dark we went to see the temple lights downtown. It was cold but beautiful to walk around.
We walked around for a while and we checked out all of the Nativities that they had. Then we went in to one of the visitor centers that had a large model of the temple where you could see inside. The kids thought that was pretty cool. The girls liked being able to see where Todd and I got married.
Before we left we went to the visitor center on the other side to see the statue of Christ. It was so sweet when we got to the top of the ramp. The kids all sat in front of the statue and held hands. They just sat there quietly for a while. My Dad said that is the most priceless picture. I agree. No whining or fighting, just taking it all in.
It is so sweet to see their little testimonies grow. Even little Abby is so cute. One day we asked her what she learned about in Nursery and she said, "Jesus. I follow him." A few weeks later she said she follows Jesus and Santa. I love to watch Blake feel the spirit and get excited about things he is learning. He doesn't like to share too much excitement when people talk to him, but sometimes he really surprises me when we are talking. I can see his reverence for the Savior in his is eyes even at a young age. He is such a great kid.
I am very thankful to have an eternal family.
