Temple Lights

Going to see the Christmas lights at the Mesa Temple every year is one of my favorite family traditions. I love to hear the musical performances—this year on the night we attended, there was a combined LDS and Catholic choir and they were amazing!—because they remind me of the year I performed with the Desert Voices Choir during the Christmas season. Jose and my sister Jenni braved the cold to hear me perform that night; it was before Clark was born. I wasn't even pregnant. And I remember that I almost tripped off the risers. Ah, memories. Anyway, this was the first year that Clark really seemed to "get" that it was Christmastime. And that makes me so happy. The lights, as always, were beautiful and I loved every minute.
