We try to make it downtown at least once during the holiday to see the lights and watch the nativity. We also have made it a tradition to ride Trax up and back - it's fun for the kids and we beat the holiday traffic! This year was hard for us to find a spare minute to get up there but we finally made it a few days before Christmas. We left just as I got off work and headed north. Rhen and Rease loved the ride up.
Once we got there we checked the Trax schedule to see how much time we had. It ended up that the next train was leaving in 40 minutes and then the next one wasn't for another hour. We decided the quicker the better since it was cold and we forgot the stroller. So we headed straight for the nativity. Of course we had to get a picture with the temple and lights in the background first.
After the nativity we had a few minutes to walk around the temple and see all the lights. 
The girls kept oohing and ahhing at all the different colors of lights. And they thought this big Christmas tree of lights was pretty cool. 
We made it back to the train with just a couple minutes to spare. It was a quick trip up and back but we saw all we wanted to see and didn't get too cold while we were at it! We love this part of the Christmas season!
