Temple Anniversary

Yesterday December 18th marked the one year anniversary of Lukey being sealed to our family in the Provo Temple. We ran over to the temple to walk around to remember our special day.

I made temple blocks for each of the children at a Relief Society activity. It has a picture of the Provo Temple on it with the words, "I'm going there someday...."
Each of our children have been to the temple and we get to focus on someday going back.

I am so grateful that this anniversary lands one week before Christmas every year. This provides us an opportunity to talk about the plan of salvation and the significance of our family's sealing. Our family can be together forever through the love and sacrifice of our Savior. I can't think of a better way to feel the Spirit of Christmas than to celebrate this momentous occasion in our family every year on December 18th.

Luke Robert is a pretty special little guy. He is happy and social and likes to grab anyone's attention. It took me several attempts to get his picture taken because he was just running around the temple grounds. A year ago he was a sweet little babe in arms. Now he is a fast, loud crazy big baby. We love and adore him and are so glad he found his way into our family.

Sean and Claire adore their temple blocks. They have carried them around all day today.
