I love to see the Temple...

We have lived in Florida for nearly 3 years now and we have never taken the kids to go visit the Temple. This weekend we told them we had a special surprise for them and took them to the Orlando Temple. We had so much fun walking around the Temple grounds enjoying the beautiful flowers, weather, greenery, and water fountains! :) It was a good opportunity to teach Madison and Hyrum, once again, the importance of temples and the happy feeling we get when we are at the Temple. We are so grateful that there is a temple close enough to be able to make a family trip! It was a wonderful day!

The water fountains were a BIG hit with the kids.

The kids enjoyed walking on the grass trying to find the "holy" lizards- since we were at the Temple. Such a fun day to remember!

Easter

Our family had a wonderful time enjoying General Conference and Easter on the same weekend! We decided to do most of our Easter traditions in the morning so we could focus the rest of the day on the true meaning of Easter.

We had a very relaxed morning and decided to get ready and dressed up for the occassion before hunting for our baskets. Madison and Hyrum, of course, HAD to wear their boots! :)


It didn't take Hyrum very long to find his basket. And boy, was he excited about his very own bubble gum eggs! :)

We made Madison's basket a little harder to find, but she was very diligent and she found it. Yay!

I don't think Madison could be any more excited about her Princess coloring book. It was right up her ally!

Madison and Hyrum then went out to find all the Easter eggs that were waiting for them. They were so cute helping each other find eggs.
