Sawyer's sealing and blessing

We had Sawyer sealed to us on May 9th in the Washington DC temple. It was such a blessing and a relief to have him sealed as part of our family. The girls were able to watch and enter the temple and the sealing room which was a very special experience for them. Sawyer looked so handsome in his white suit and the Spirit was strong. 




My parents, my brother Alex, and my sister with her family were able to attend. 

Afterwards we went to Cheesecake Factory to celebrate. 

And then to my parents hotel to hang out and swim.




All snuggled up with Nana.
The following day we had Sawyer's blessing. He was just too adorable in his white suit. 
His cousin Benjamin was adorable too!
