That's right, the first grandchild has turned 12. I wanted to share our new tradition for this very special birthday. Last Saturday, we woke April at 6 am, packed her in the car and headed out. No, we didn't go far. We hit a sale at Kohls and spent a few hours, just Mom, Dad, and April, trying on clothes. Finally, she found the perfect outfit for her first temple trip. Yep, I said it. FIRST TEMPLE TRIP! All our children, at the age of 12, will get a day with the parents to find a new dress or suit for the temple. This was exciting, because she doesn't really ever go shopping. I am happy to report, it was modest and super cute. I will be sure to take a picture at the temple on the 22nd. Happy birthday to me!
She had her interview last week and officially became a temple recommend holder. She has her own, so she can do baptisms while in Utah over Christmas!
This is one of those times you breath a happy sigh and say, "I must be doing ok."
