This Is Us

  I know this was awhile ago, but I really love these photos and wanted to share them. In April of 2018 we went to Temple Square to take some photos.  Dieter and Colleen met us there so they could take the photos with all of us.  It was a beautiful spring day, but it was a little chilly.  We went after general conference and it was so uplifting to be there. It's not easy to get five kids to smile and look at the camera at the same time.  Sometimes one of them didn't want to smile, sometimes it was two of them.  Other times they didn't want to even have their picture taken.  So we did the best we could and I think they turned out okay. Anyway... Here they are!

Yes, it's a little late, but we thought you would still like to see the pictures and hear about it. On Christmas Eve the four of us went to Temple Square to see the lights. It was so much fun, and wasn't really that cold. We didn't watch the "show" outside of the visitor's center because it was way to crowded, so we just walked around. We have tried to go every year, but never seem to make it. But we have decided that we are going to make it a tradition and go every year. We all wore our matching PJ's that I made for us (I'll post the picture of us in our PJ's as soon as I find it), and we bundled the kids up in the stroller. They had about 4 of 5 blankets on them plus their snow suits. We got some really awesome pictures, but our favorite is this one of the temple. We are going to make it bigger and put it up in a frame, right in our living room... when we get a house. After Temple Square we went to my parent's house for their annual Christmas...
