Post Christmas: Temple Day

Michael's sister received her mission call a couple of weeks before Christmas. This gave us the opportunity to attend the temple with her over Christmas break. I opted to wait in the visitor's center with the kids. While Rebecca was holding Elise I held down the fort with four kids under 4. Luckily it was early enough in the day that the visitor's center was basically empty. I don't think we disturbed too many people.

Nathan and Miriam listened quietly to a movie about the Book of Mormon.

Abby and Simon tried to climb over the bench during the movie.

Miriam and Nathan got a kick out of trading shoes.

Abby and Simon crawled around the floor.

After the rest of the adults got out of the temple we went to a nearby restaurant for a quick dinner before heading back to the temple to see the Christmas lights. We bundled up the kids and took some quick pictures before deciding to call it a night. It was a long day for the kids, but they were so good and patient. It is always so rewarding to see your kids excitement for the temple.
