Our yearly tradition of going and seeing the temple lights this year was a little different but not much. We did have our normal company of our friends. Instead we got to enjoy having Tracie and John and their family come with us. (we love that they live closer to us) Our two good friends and their families were supposed to join us but they couldn't for various reasons. Tracie and John have never been to see these temple lights so we were excited to have them join us and be a part of our family tradition.
We all loaded into our car and headed to the Oakland Temple.
We walked round and enjoyed the atmosphere of being on the temple grounds.
It was a little cold and wet, but not that horrible. The kids got cold near the end.
Enjoying the View!
Beautiful!

We went into the visitor center and walked around, watched a short video and had another family picture taken.
We headed back to the car for some cookies, hot chocolate and apple cider (Josh made and it was amazing)
Being able to go to the temple with our kids and walk around is a tradition I hope our kids never forget. I remember going it as a kid. I love being at the temple and the feelings you have while being there.
