On Saturday, January 3, 2009, we sealed Chase to us in the Salt Lake Temple. It was a beautiful day. We arrived at the temple and the kids got to go into the children's room while we were treated just like a bride and groom again. They gave us special attendants and I got to primp in the bride's room. We actually were sealed in one of the original pioneer sealing rooms. It was right next to the front doors of the temple and to get there we were able to go through some beautiful older areas of the temple that we would other wise not been able to see. It was so amazing, for so many reasons.When they finally brought the kids in, Bella pretty much ran to my arms saying, "Mama! Mama! Mama!" She gave me a huge hug and then sat on Grandma's lap. Chase was his happy easy going self the entire time. Completely content just to stare at the chandelier. We felt so blessed to be able to be with them in such a holy place.
After the ceremony we took the above pictures. I thought they turned out pretty well, especially considering it was January in Utah. Then we headed over to a chapel in the avenues for a luncheon. It was simple and wonderful to be with all the people we love so much.
The next day John blessed Chase in our ward. John did such a nice job. I cried through the entire thing. I know I say this over and over, but I am so thankful for my kids. They are my miracles and I would not change who they are or what it took to get them for anything.
