The Forgotten Carols and Hey! who turned out the lights?

So Saturday night Gary and I went to the Forgotten Carols with my little sister Jessica, her boyfriend Josh, my cousin Jase and his date Megan. It was AMAZING! I cannot even explain how good it was. If any of you have not been I extremely, highly recommend it. It totally got me into the Christmas mood. It truly reminded me why we celebrate Christmas. Michael McLean had everyone link arms and sing at the end of the performance and it sounds kinda weird, but the spirit was so strong. It was so neat! I want to go again. I think this is just going to have to be a new tradition for us!

After the play we went over to Temple Square to look at the lights and continue with the spirit we had already felt. So the whole drive there I kept saying "Are you sure the lights will be on? It's almost 10." and everyone was like "oh yeah they'll be on. They won't go off till after midnight, I bet." So after a crazy time trying to park we finally get inside the Joseph Smith building. This is the gorgeous tree in the center. We walk out one of the doors and guess what everyone? No lights! Ha ha Dang it! So we just walked around for a few minutes and took some pictures. We will just have to go back again so this time we can see the lights.

This was one of my favorite pictures because it was just our outline and the Temple. I wanted one that was more centered, but we couldn't figure out how my little sister did it, so we couldn't get another one like this.

ok i must tell you a very disappointing story... we had tickets to go to the forgotten carols this year while we were up there, and my dad read on the ticket that it was up at weber state, so he thought! We got there and there was a bball game going on...yeah it was at the mckay event center in orem! We were SO bummed! We totally missed it! :( I love the forgotten carols, it is amazing!

That's so funny, the same thing happened to Kami and I and our husbands a few years ago! We went around nine thirty after eating somewhere and they were turned off! Kind of lame, you would think they would keep them on longer, especially on the weekends.
