It's been snowing nonstop since Sunday. I'm glad we're going to have a white Christmas and I love looking at the snow, but when I opened my door up this morning, I thought, "Ok, that's plenty. It can stop now." There was so much snow that it was higher than my car. Good thing school was cancelled today, because there was no way I would have been able to get there. I'm literally snowed in. Plus the power was out, and I didn't want to go anywhere with wet hair.

I think the snow is about 3 feet here at our house. Or at least it's getting close to it. It was past my knees.


On Saturday, we went to Temple Square with my younger sister, Michaela, to look at the lights.

They were so beautiful.

There were tons of people everywhere. We chose the wrong weekend to go. The choir was putting on a Christmas concert with David Archuletta, so it was packed and no parking for blocks. That's ok, we had a nice, extra long walk to get to the temple.

It was super cold, but we were wearing a lot of layers and bundled up nicely. There were beautiful nativity scenes up from all over the world. They also had really pretty luminaries lining all the walkways.

If you get a chance to go see the lights, then do. Temple Square is a beautiful reminder of what Christmas is really about.
