Celebration Cookies

Forever Family Day
April 22, 2007

Today is our official "Forever Family Day".
It was a beautiful spring day, much like today's weather. It took three women in the temple to actually get T-Man dressed in his suit. He was so sweet, so smiley, and quite the center of attention; as it should be! It was so wonderful to have my entire family together and to be celebrating such a long-awaited event.

We invited T-Man's birth family to be a part of his baby blessing the following day. We are so grateful that they are a part of his life -- so much love to go around for this one little amazing boy!

T-Man and I are going to be making temple shaped cookies and then if there is any dough left over after we consume our weight in dough, we might bake and decorate some and have a few left over to share when Daddy gets home :)
We'll hopefully have photos to post.T-Man with my dad
(Grandpa, former Chicago Temple President, and our sealer)

So grateful and feeling so blessed for the this day three years ago!
(miss those cheeks!!)
