December 16: The Temple with my oOldest Boys and Happy Birthday Jon and Burger Bar

 What a glorious day! Highlight was temple baptisms with Peter and William this morning!I felt so grateful to be there with them. And proud of them. And we all felt the Spirit and I felt grateful for the ancestors we were serving and felt that they were grateful and loved us. It was beautiful. A highlight of the mid Christmas season for sure.  I am thankful that the boys are willing, able and worthy to go to the temple with me and that they love him Savior. I love and adore Him. And this season is a wonderful time to celebrate not only the miracle and wonder and glory and hope of  His birth, but also the love and example and perfect kindness and mercy and Grace and joy of His whole life and atonement. 

We went to lunch afterwards and then came home and changed and hung out a bit. The boys are definitely enjoying being out of school for winter break! I think it’s nice that they can relax and watch some X-men  and play games and be outside  and go Christmas shopping! That’s what we did today at Walmart after lunch and break time.  It was so fun to be there and see what they got for each other  James loves his dad and brothers for sure.  I was right with him and he wanted to get them nice stuff! He’s a sweetie  they all are  I am so blessed to be their mom.  After shopping Peter worked and then did a workout  William is working on his book  James practiced his new Christmas songs  on the piano  Ryan finished up work (from home)
