The Bells on Temple Square!

On Sunday we had the opportunity to attend the "Ring Christmas Bells with The Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square" concert. The choir does this every year and it goes from Thursday night until Sunday. If you attend on Sunday you get to be there for the Spoken Word and a mini concert after. Lantz and I have attended this for three years now but this year we had the pleasure of taking Jace and Dane with us. We got up early Sunday morning and drove a whoping 40mph on the freeway to temple square (it was so slippery it was really scary). Once we were there we had to wait a while for it start but we got to hear the choir run through quite a few songs. They are absolutley amazing. I could have sat there all day and listened to them sing. Every year they have special guest singers. This year it was Brian Stokes Mitchell. He is a broadway singer and lead in the broadway production of Man from LaMancha. He had an amazing voice and listening him sing with the choir just gave you goose bumps. We also had the priviledge of hearing our beloved prophet Thomas S. Monson speak. He got up after the concert and thanked the special guest. He also asked Brian Stokes Mitchell to sing "Dream the Impossible Dream" which brought tears to my eyes. It was a great experience and one that was great sharing with the boys. We would like to thank Bill and Pat Sevy for letting us have their extra tickets.
