DC TEMPLE FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS

Christmas may have passed, but we're not quite done with you yet, holidays. Our delightful friend, Maggie (of My Maggie!), invited us to visit the Washington D.C. Temple Visitors' Center with her to catch the tail-end of the 34th annual Festival of Lights and take in a Christmas concert by the Olney Concert Band. We enjoyed the music, certainly, but got an extra big kick out of one of the performer's parents walking on stage mid-performance to deliver a bottle of water. The kid was so embarrassed, but it was, no doubt, exactly what he needed. Such a cute family interaction! We also ducked in to the Nativities of the World exhibit and saw some neat-o displays. So fun to discover different visual interpretations of a universal story.

Maggie told us that the Temple Visitors' Center will be closing for renovations, but we hope it's back in action by next Christmas. What a fun end 'o the season activity!
