Another family/Ryan's Birthday/Christmas advent tradition: temple lights! It was so beautiful, even though half the lights weren't working. Recession? Weather? But the temple seemed to be glowing. I'm convinced they switched to LED's and thats why it seems whiter and brighter. Didn't it have an orangey glow before?

 And yes it was raining. 

 Ryan was way more interested in all the worms than the temple. They were everywhere. It was so gross. Ryan thought it was cool, but a lot cooler from his dad's shoulders where he wouldn't get worm guts on his shoes.

My man is such a hunk. I wish I had a picture of just him to post with that sentence. I am so lucky to have him. (For lots of other reasons than his good looks, but that is the one sticking out to me this morning.) 

 I love going to the temple grounds with these two. There is such a good feeling there.
