Springtime on Temple Square


Every year around Easter time, our family goes to Temple Square to enjoy the beautiful flowers and take pictures.  I have a fun history of pictures from nearly every year.  It's special to us because Todd and I were married in the Salt Lake Temple, and we lived a few blocks from there the first few years we were married.  We have loved visiting this beautiful and sacred spot for many years and have many happy memories of life near there.  

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints temples are  sacred to us because we believe that they are God's houses here on earth, and it is there that we make sacred, personal, promises to God.  We believe that because of the sacrifice of the Savior and his resurrection that we will be able to live together forever, and it is in the temple that we are sealed into family units.  Our family is so grateful for this knowledge and for this wonderful time of year that we can reflect upon our Savior.   

Abby takes pictures from unique perspectives.  I love her photos!

My parents were with us this year.  Don't they look great?

The doctrine of our faith teaches us that through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, when Alex and McKay are resurrected their bodies will be whole and without blemish.  We adore them just the way they are, but we all look forward to the next life when they will be able to walk and talk with us.
