On Arpil 26th we celebrated the one year mark since we were able to seal our sweet Andrew to our family for time and all eternity. We had a wonderful day and started some traditions that I know we will continue to cherish doing through the years. We made a trip to the temple in the morning before church to take pictures. We talked to Andrew about what happened on that special day one year ago and how happy we are that he is with our family forever and ever.
We took shifts at church since Carter was still recovering from his sickness, but Andrew's teachers said this was one of his best days at church. He sat in his chair all by himself longer than he ever has. Maybe we need to go the temple before church every Sunday - or maybe just let him run around outside for a little while to get some wiggles out.
That evening, after naps and dinner, we headed to my parent's house to have cake together. I made an all white cake, including an actual white cake, white pudding filling, white frosting, and white whipping cream decorations with write writing that said "Together Forever". I really like the tradition of a white cake. We had vanilla ice cream and just enjoyed being together. I just wish Andrew liked cake a little more. Silly little boy!
Yes, Lainy is licking her plate! I do have to say that an all white cake is mighty tastey!
What a wonderful day. It was beautiful weather and it was so nice to spend time as a family and reflect on what it means to be together forever. I am so thankful for my family and the blessing it is to know that we will be together to eternity.
