Day 16 {David Archuleta and Mormon Tabernacle Choir}

Every year the LDS church offers a free Christmas concert at the conference center.  Tickets are given out by lottery.  We lucked out and got tickets again this year.  It's always so crowded and a long wait to get into the building but it was so worth the wait.



Our view from our seats.  We really couldn't have had better seats.  Well, maybe they could have been a little more up and center but then we wouldn't have had as much fun.  We had a perfect view of the teleprompter and we enjoyed reading along and being able to notice when David Archuleta tried to ad lib and veer away from the written script.  Usually didn't work out so well.


This boy was born to sing Christmas music.  I honestly have never heard these songs sound as good as they did with David Archuleta singing and the Mo Tab Choir as his back up singers.  I'm pretty sure this was as good as hearing the herald angels singing on the night of Christ's birth.


We got to enjoy the show with my parents and youngest brother, Blake

Temple Square was so crazy with all of the crowds from the concert.  It took us about an hour to be able to reverse out of our parking spot and drive home.


But we got to enjoy the temple grounds and lights one more time as we walked back to our car.
