Every year the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square put on a Christmas concert. It is very popular, and tickets are very hard to come by. Tickets are free, but they are given out in a lottery. Well this year, I forgot to put my name in, so we did not get tickets. But over Thanksgiving, Rachel (who plays in the orchestra) announced that she was given 10 tickets! So Mike and I, and Grandma and Grandpa snagged those tickets. A few weeks before Christmas, we went to Salt Lake for the concert and to see the lights on Temple Square.
Here I am with Grandma and Grandpa before the concert started.
After the concert, we took some pictures on temple square.
The next day, Grandpa and Grandma drove back to Boise, but Mike and I stayed in Salt Lake for another day. We spent some time at Rachel's and played with the kids!

We also went to the Sweet Tooth Fairy Bakery (winner of cupcake wars!) and bought cupcakes to take home to Megan!
Mike and I went back to Temple Square to see the Christmas lights!
There is also nativity sets from all over the world!
This nativity floats on a pond!
This one is from Asia.
We have decided we need to do this every year! Thanks Rachel for the great weekend! It has gotten us in the Christmas Spirit!
