A fun Christmas Eve in Downtown Salt Lake

Our tradition and our little family, is to spend Christmas Eve together.  We usually choose a different activity every Christmas Eve.  This year we decided to to go to downtown Salt Lake,  to see the lights the Temple Square, the Gateway Plaza, and have dinner.

We had a delicious dinner in California Pizza Kitchen at the Gateway.  Jacob loved hopping on the Trax line to move from place to place.

We had a great time and Temple Square is wonderful, as always.  The depiction of the Nativity was particularly poignant this year for Jeff and I.  With everything that surrounded the fundraiser for our adoption and the love we felt from so many, we felt closer to our Savior, Jesus Christ and for the love he has for us.  A great reminder to remember that HE is the reason for the Season.

What a great way to ring in Christmas!!

When we returned home that night, I could not help but reflect on a saying I have hanging on our Christmas Tree:

We were priveledged this year by many people who let the Savior in their hearts and shared a little bit of themselves with us.
