Our friends the Hughes live in Logan and were kind enough to let us come stay with them this weekend. We stayed up late, played, ate and laughed harder than I have in a while. Man it feels good to have such great friends! We are super blessed.
We went to their sacrament on Sunday and then headed to temple square to show the kids the lights and visit the visitors center for a while. It was 57 degrees when we got there. Pretty amazing for December 7th! Made it nice to just wear some light jackets as we walked around.
It is amazing the spirit that you feel as you walk around those grounds and look at their little Nativity set up in front of the visitors center. You can listen to the scriptures being read about the Savior's birth and just feel so deeply that He truly is "THE GIFT" of Christmas.
I love this family of mine so much. I just felt so blessed to be able to go to temple square with them and see the lights. Even if it was for only an hour and even if it took us way longer than it should have to get there because of all the potty breaks and stretch breaks for screaming kids.
As we were walking to the car Ella said, "Mom & dad, thanks for bringing us here."
Made it all worth it! She is such a sweetheart!
LOVE this cute boy!
I just love this picture of Dustin and Lincoln. It has made it to my top favorite pictures for sure.
Alissa wanted to have this picture right here holding Lincoln. So sweet!
Ella the alien.
I am so grateful for the Savior and for his life. I know he is the gift of Christmas and that we can give back to him by living as he would: giving, loving, sharing. I know He is the way back to our Heavenly Father. So grateful to celebrate this month and to find ways to serve and love others.
So beautiful! So thankful to be a member of this church and to know I have the opportunity to have an eternal family.
