Week in review...

A few more photos of Ashlyn's amazing Disneyland adventure...

It's my last week with my kindergarten class at school, and it's definitely going to be bittersweet. I'm going to miss these sweet kids so much! This last week we went on a gingerbread man hunt, the gingerbread man escaped the oven and we had to chase him throughout the school!!

We also took care of our neighbors dogs....

We got Grandma and Grandpa's Christmas card in the mail...

Jacob set up our lights this year...

We got some rain this week!

Haley got to go see the lights on temple square this weekend...

It's our last week of school before Christmas break, and my last week with a job as an instructional assistant. It's sad to leave something that has been so good for me, but I'm off to do bigger and better things!

Today was the Mesa Arizona Temple Dedication! All of our family got to go, even Abby! You had to have a recommend to get in and bring a white handkerchief. President Oaks presided and gave the dedicatory prayer and Elder Gong came with him and gave a youth devotional last night that Jacob and Ashlyn attended. We did the hosanna shout and it was amazing. President Oaks dedicated everything in the temple including the fount, the ordinance rooms, sealing rooms and celestial room. It was a very detailed dedication, he even repeated some of the dedicatory prayer that was originally given by President Heber J. Grant back in 1927. It was one session out of 3 sessions and it was broadcast from the Mesa Temple. Such a cool experience, we are so blessed that the Mesa temple will now be open again, it's been a long 3 years. It was awesome to have the kids there and to listen to how special the temple is really got me excited to go serve. We are so blessed to have so many temples around us. Abby said that she loved it!
