I LOVE TO SEE THE TEMPLE

Layla trying on her temple dress and shoes and giving her best "Cheeze" for the camera

Layla has been preparing to go to the temple again this week. She couldn't be more excited for her brother to be a part of her family forever. We've spent many of our recent family home evenings talking about eternal families and what it means to go to the temple to be sealed. She has been practicing her "temple voice" which means she whispers. And she can't wait to play with the toys in the temple nursery as she waits for the ceremony to begin. She wants to wear her white temple dress every day and we have to explain to her that it's only for the temple - every day :) She's been practicing praying and because her brothers have both been quite sick these past few weeks she has witnessed her dad and grandpa give them blessings. So now she talks about going to the temple to have special blessings and special prayers. And each night as we tuck her into bed she sings "I love to see the temple." Her sweet angelic voice is the closest thing to an angel on earth as one could imagine - enjoy:
