We **finally** were able to take Cutie Pie to the temple and be sealed to us forever. We were touched by our friends and family that were able to attend this special event with us. My mom made white dresses for the girls. When they brought Sweet Pea and Cutie Pie into the room, they looked like angels. After the ceremony, the sealer asked Sweet Pea to join us by the alter to look at the "forever mirrors". Our family went on forever!
We took some pictures afterwards.
A bit of silliness
Sweet Pea want a picture of her dressed in white on the family picture wall
Such a beautiful girl
The kiddos
Momma and her girls
A small portion of our extended family
Watching our hungry, little miracle
Daddy and his girls
Our eternal family
Sisters
All worn out
We are so grateful to have Cutie Pie in our family and now ours FOREVER!!! We will be eternally grateful for her brave birth mom who lovingly placed her in our family. We also are so grateful to our friends and family who have loved, supported and prayed for us throughout this amazing journey and experience!! THANK YOU!!!!
We visited Reed's mom for Thanksgiving. We had a wonderful and quiet time visiting and playing with Grandma and Aunt Suzanne. Ms A wanted to play in the snow EVERY DAY! Grandma's house received about seven inches of snow while we were there. She was in Heaven!
We were very fortunate to be able to visit Reed's entire family for Thanksgiving. Reed's dad came home for a couple of weeks from Afghanistan. Cindy and her family were able to come from New York. We enjoyed visiting and playing with everyone. We also enjoyed crafting, ie: making clippies (Cindy makes them for her small personal business), stamping Christmas cards and making various crafts (Thanks Aunt Suzanne!). The most popular activity was Grandma and Grandpa's ATVs. Ms A LOVED them. Every morning she would ask if she could go for a ride. She was all smiles when she was done, except for her cold fingers.
We had a wonderful time! It was hard to leave, but we missed our beds! ;)
Thanks for the WONDERFUL time and THANKS Suzanne for the use of your room!!
We had a wonderful time celebrating Thanksgiving with Reed's family. Three of his sister with their families were able to come. We missed Cindy and her family in NY. Reed's Aunt DeAnn and Uncle Roger also joined us.
The company was fantastic, the food divine and all were satisfied. :)
I hope you had a wonderful time with family and friends during this season of gratitude. :)
We went to visit Reed's family for Thanksgiving this year. One our first day, Grandpa Allen took us on a tour around their home. They live on a mountain. The morning we left the fog blanketed the valley, river and several hollows below us. It was a bit like I envisioned heaven. Ms. A loved exploring outside. She wanted to walk on the clouds though, so I had to explain to her why that wasn't a good idea. :)
We drove all over the mountain, walked around a few properties and hiked a bit. Reed, Ms. A and Allen hike to the top of Stony Peak. The incline was a bit much for me so I enjoyed the views on a lower part of the mountain. After watching them come down, I knew I made a good choice. They were zig-zagging most of the way down.
