Christmas Is Here Again & The Temple

Christmas is back . . . at least in photos! I finally found my cord and figured out what was blocking me from downloading the pictures, so we'll start with Christmas!

Here's Michael loving his new Angel Moroni "action figure Santa put in his stocking, while sitting on his new tricycle Santa brought. Wow, that Santa sure knows what this kid likes!


Moroni quickly became part of all of our family activities. Here he is on the Christmas breakfast syrup. Note the paper plates. We had already packed the dishes.

I think Sam looks great riding his new trike around! He was so excited about it and ran straight to it that morning. Here we are reading the new kids' Old Testament stories together. Sam demanded his hood be on all day long, by the way.

This was our 2nd to last night in DC. We went to my nephew's wedding reception and Josh stopped by the temple on the way home. We went to this temple on our honeymoon. When we decided to try to have the boys we came here a lot and had special experiences that gave us hope and strength. We will miss it for the familiar faces we see within its walls, but . . .
Tonight we took the boys to our NEW temple in Sacramento and it is beautiful! I felt the same spirit there as I have at the Washington temple and we look forward to finding a good babysitter and going inside!
This video is hard to see, but it's Michael saying goodbye to the temple. He just loves it there! Yesterday I told he we would be going to see it and he was awake in his crib talking about the temple for a long time. We are really enjoying ourselves out here!
