Santa and Temple Lights.

Earlier last week Llama and I were at the mall getting some last minute things for my mom before our family went out of town. We were sitting in the food court and Santa was down stairs so we decided why not?

We haven't had a picture with Santa together in a long time so we thought it would be fun and it was. I'm still a little puffy from my surgery the week before and Llama has his fun goofy smile but it was a lot of fun!!

Last night I went with my Aunt Lori, Uncle Sid, and cousins Brittany and David to the Temple lights.

I haven't been in I think two or three years so it was a lot of fun to be able to go and see everything! I took this right before we left, isn't it beautiful!!

Here is the other side of the Temple and some lights that are in front.

The Wise men and the camels in the open field out in front. When did they get the colored head dresses?


Just some trees and plants all lit up!

They had these trees in a couple of places that I thought were pretty awesome!

I don't remember this being here the last time I went but it is Mary and Joseph with the donkey.

This is the Holy Family on the big nativity on the Temple grounds. I think we need one just like it for our front yard! Hint hint mom and dad!!!

The Wise men again would look good in the front yard with the Holy family!!!

And the Shepherds which would make the front yard nativity complete!!

So once we finished outside we decided to go inside and see the nativity sets that they had there. Now this is a bad place to take a nativity collector. It's like taking a vampire on a field trip to a blood bank! So I got a little camera crazy and have decided I need one of each one I took a picture of!

This one is from somewhere in Africa.

I believe this one is from Chile.

This one is made completely out of corn husk.

This one is from South America and I love how it is in a huge bowl!

I don't remember where this one is from but it has a Llama in it!!

Here is another one from South America.

This one is from Poland and is so cute and small!

This one is from Tucson! So Claudia if you see one like it let me know!!!

This one is from Mongolia.

I don't know where this is from but it is a hand made quilt! And I want it!!!

Again I don't remember where this one is from but I want to say it was a "stan" country.

Again I don't know where this one is from but isn't it beautiful!!

I want to say there ones are from somewhere in the U.S. but they are on eggs! Again I think I need one!

Look at how cute this one is from China!!

Here is one from Russia and the stained glass one is I believe from South America.

And lastly this one is from Alaska!! It has a moose and a polar bear in it!! I have to have one!!

So that is it of my trip to the Temple. And if any of you are going to some of these places or see a nativity like the ones I have posted remember little old me!!!
