Temple Square and a Bird

A couple weeks ago Ade and I went up to temple square for dinner and to see the Christmas lights. Here are a couple of pictures from that night.

This first picture shows statues of Mary, Joseph and Jesus (in the manger).

Here is a photo of some of the lights and a fountain on temple square.
This is a copy of the Christus statue by Danish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen.

And finally, we had a bird fly in the house. It must have come inside while I was shoveling the front sidewalk. About an hour after we came inside it flew out from the front room. The next 15-20 minutes were spent laughing as we tried to get it to fly back out the front door. We made sure to get a photo for memory's sake.

Weddings are getting closer

Less than a week until 2 weddings. First there is Han. I taught her the gospel in Australia almost 12 years ago. She is all grown up now and has moved to the US. She is getting married on Friday the 19th. That afternoon is the luncheon and her reception is later in the evening. I can't wait! The only problem is that Adrienne's littlest sister (Heidi) has her reception on Friday too. So I will miss some of both. Her wedding isn't until the next day, but Friday was the only day it would work for them. Although much of that day will be spent driving around, I think it is going to be a lot of fun.

We went with Heidi and Trevor to the temple in Provo yesterday and took some pictures outside so I'll include them below.

Christmas Lights at Temple Square

Hello everyone! I know I keep promising pictures, so here is one to tide you over. Adrienne and I went to dinner in Salt Lake City with her department at work. My parents should know the restaurant since we ate there after my last graduation ceremony (the name is The Garden). It is on the top floor of a building at Temple Square. I took this photo as we were walking around Temple Square right after dinner. There will be more pictures added later.
