What a wonderful day!

We had such a great day yesterday. It started off by Taylor's class having a Luau. The kids had made placemats and menus and they got be our waiters. After bringing food to the parents the kids sat down and ate with us. After eating they performed a couple of song/dances which were way cute. It is so fun to watch Taylor do all these big kid things. I know that she is growing up but she will always be my baby girl.

After the Luau we headed to Salt Lake. Our first stop was to the Clark Planetarium. If you haven't been there you should check it out. It is free and there are some fun things for the kids to see and do.

Here is Taylor on the moon.

And here she is walking on Mars.

After the planetarium we went to see the Joseph Smith movie. I love this movie. It makes Joseph Smith more real to me. For me, it is much more powerful to see the events of his life then it is to read about them. He truly was an amazing prophet. He had to endure so many horrific things yet he never strayed from what he knew to be true. I am grateful for the sacrifices he made in order to restore the gospel to the earth. I don't know what I would do without the guidance the gospel gives me in my life.

After the movie, we walked over to Temple Square to see the Christmas lights. Of course we went into the visitors center and many other buildings to warm up in between looking at lights. Taylor loves seeing the statue of Christ and she always points out the marks in his hands and feet. We went into the assembly hall just as a choir was getting ready to perform. We decided to listen to a few songs while we warmed up. We ended up staying for the whole thing because Taylor was enjoying the music so much. It amazes me how a child at such a young age can appreciate listening to songs about our Savior.

We had a great day spending time together and enjoying the wonders of the season.
