Friday night was our ward Trunk or Treat. Somehow we managed to get all of the kids into costume. :) Nathan is a football fan, Lily is Laura Ingalls (NOT a pioneer. . .she had to correct everyone), Kayla was a dinosaur (last minute change from princess), and Benson was a pumpkin. They had a lot of fun. Benson keeps asking me if we can do Halloween again. He is a fan of the candy. :)
Sadie Ballerina slept through the entire thing, so no one even got to see her cute costume. I know this picture doesn't show the whole thing, but I loved the close up of her. She is the sweetest.
Miraculously, I got a picture of all of the kids before church (9AM church, but we try to go at least by 8:30AM to get everything ready for Primary).
And then today I had to get a picture of me and Sadie. I think the only one of the two of us is right after she was born. . .plus, we were both dressed up. . .
We took the kids to the Boise Temple Open House this morning. It was so beautiful. Bryson took the time to take Nathan last Wednesday and Lily last Thursday to the temple. That way they each got to have some one on one time with daddy and have their own temple experience. Benson behaved pretty well for a 2 year old and Sadie slept the whole trip away.
The girls wanted a picture by the pretty flowers. We are friends with the temple gardener, so they thought that was pretty special to see all that he does to make the temple grounds beautiful.
And that is what we've been up to this past week. :)
Hooray for temple open houses! I love that you got the chance to take your kids (and that you took the opportunity to make it truly special for them too.)
ReplyDeleteYou have some beautiful pictures this post...I love the Sunday shots of all the kids and of you and Sadie.
Thanks, Carol! Bryson keeps telling that pictures make it more interesting. . .and I agree, but I don't always have time to put them on. :)
