My one regret last year was never making it over to the temple during the Christmas season to see the lights and attend one of the free nightly concerts. We flew out to California as soon as Spencer was finished with his finals and never made our way over there. So this year it was a top priority! I got to go early this season with the Young Women in our ward. Since then I've been dying to go back with Madi and Spencer. Being cooped up in the house all week with a cranky, sick, 18 month old has made this week not much of an enjoyable one. So, I definitely needed this! Luckily, Madi was happy during our entire outing (sadly it was the only 2 1/2 hours of the day that she was happy)!
It really was a magical night. The lights were AMAZING! The concert was AWESOME! We got to see Jenny Oaks Baker- a renowned Violinist and Church Member from Virginia. She and her group were phenomenal! At the end she brought out three of her little girls to play a song with her. The oldest (probably 7 or 8) played the violin, the middle was on the piano, and the youngest (maybe 3 or 4 years old) played the cello. AMAZING!! Spencer and I really want Madi to play the violin so we're glad she enjoyed the performance!
