Lights

We have been blessed the past few weeks with unseasonably warm weather so we decided to take advantage of the tail end of it and see the Lights at Temple Square before the cold moves in.

Ella, Cade and Cole love to go and see the big nativity and get excited when they can see and point out baby Jesus.  The boys are starting to understand Christmas so we have really tried to explain and remind them that the reason we celebrate Christmas is because Jesus was born.  Cade had several curious questions - like, did baby Jesus go to the hospital?  was he scared?  did he cry?  We talked about the stable where Jesus was born and that yes, he may have been a little scared but he had his mommy and daddy there to help him.  Then he told me how he wasn't scared when he was a baby and went to the hospital because he was such a brave boy.  Yes, he was!  

At times like this, I remember what a short time ago all three of them were sweet spirits in the presence of Heavenly Father.  How innocent and truly amazing they are and how undeniably blessed we are that they are now a part of our home and family!
