We took a drive up to the Oakland Temple to look at the lights and to see the remodeled visitor's center. The lights were pretty, I thought they should have done more though. The fake nativity was gorgeous, life size, and all in white. They also did a live nativity for an hour. They read the birth of Christ found in the book of Luke and had the nativity act it out as it was being read. Afterwards I had Lei run up and take a pic. Inside the remodeled visitor center was nice. I liked the 5 min. video presentation of Christ's birth. Kaleia liked the interactive touch screen computers. You could press on a question and a little video clip would pop-up with the answers. They also had a table with many Book of Mormons laid out. There was one printed in each language, so we went on a hunt for all the languages of our family missionaries.

Max- Malagasy (Madagascar)
Spencer- Spanish (Peru)
Chase- Spanish (Paraguay)
Drew- English (Colorado)

We need to go this year to, we love the Oakland temple! Oh my, how did you get your kids to sit in Santa laps and not scream? I look forward to the day that Sav will sit nicely for Santa!
