Temple Trips

IMG_6541Family Home Evening can be tricky with two little children.  It usually last less than 5 minutes- total.  But even so, we feel it is important to start the habit the best we can. 

Patrick had the great idea of going to the Temple for FHE.  We could walk around the grounds and enjoy the Spirit we felt IMG_6561there.  We paused to talk about the Temple.  Cal knows it is “Jesus’s house” and that a Moroni blows his horn on top. 

IMG_6573We talked about when we were able to enter the Temple as a family to be sealed together forever.  We know they are young, too young to fully understand, but we want them to always remember the Timpanogos Temple and the special significance it has for our little family.

Ellie even took a few of her first steps there.  I love both of these pictures so much- holding hands with Daddy and Cal and walking to Daddy- precious!IMG_6652

Things went so well we decided to go to a different Temple a couple of weeks later.  This time we traveled to the Draper Temple.  Both Temples are only 15 minutes from our home- just in the opposite direction.  We feel so blessed to live in such a wonderful place!
