Sealed for Time and all Eternity

Two of my brothers made it to the temple this year and I couldn't be more proud of them.
Misi and Tolo got married in November and we were able to travel out to Salt Lake for their special day.

So glad we were able to make it out for the wedding. I am grateful for my new sister-in-law Tolo and am excited for her and Misi's new life together.

This weekend Fatu and Brittainy got sealed in Salt Lake. We're in Vernal, so we weren't able to be there :( But I am so happy for their little family. Fatu has matured so much and I'm proud of the choices he's made as a husband and father.

I still can't believe how much he's grown! What a great way to end 2013 for Fatu and Misi.

Vegas Holiday Activities 2013

We've been able to do a lot of fun holiday activities while Ti's been here. I'm grateful for that! On our annual Family Day we went to Town Square to watch Frozen with the kids. Afterwards, we gathered around the giant Christmas tree in the Square for their evening snowfall. We drove home to Christmas music and made hot cocoa at home to end the night. I'm so glad the kids started this family tradition. Didn't do any Black Friday shopping, but had a special day with my family instead.

This weekend we went to Ethel M Chocolate Factory for the first time. It was awesome!!! They have a cactus garden out back that was completely decorated in Christmas lights. I have been complaining about Vegas not having a worthy display of Christmas lights since we've moved here and I finally found a spot that's amazing!!! And it's free! Before leaving we went to look around inside the factory and were pleasantly surprised to find a walk through of the factory. We got to see how the chocolate was made and received free samples as well. The kids loved it. I loved it!

Yesterday we spent the day at home. We had pizza for lunch and listened to Christmas music while we hung up the stockings and decorated the tree.

Although we have to say goodbye to Ti Tonga today I am grateful for the holiday memories we were able to build with him. This is so much more time than we had with him last year. For that I am grateful.
