We didn't spend family home evening at home this week, or last week! We were challenged by our ward missionaries to canvas the entire ward boundaries inviting people to the Mesa Temple lights display. Each family in our ward was given a street assignment to knock on doors and pass out pamphlets. I was very nervous about it but the brethren were not, and it was a very exciting family home evening for us last week as we walked from door to door and talked about why and what we were doing. We encountered all types of receptions from people on their doorsteps as we spoke to them and were rewarded with the spirit of missionary work. This week we took ourselves to the light display and had a fantastic time. Grandpa Arnett was in charge of the temple lights for many years when Monte and I were newly weds and so they will always hold a special place in our hearts. In fact, Grandpa came out with us and enjoyed the beautiful lighting on the temple grounds.
The banana tree...it is traditionally decorated in green lights ever since I can remember...on the off year that it actually has bananas growing on it they are lit with yellow lights, no such luck this year! 
Grandpa, just another of the "brethren"
another personal favorite of mine are the wise men on the front lawn.
