Matt's Parents Have Arrived!!

Matt's parents got here the Saturday before Christmas, and we were so excited!! They drove down, so they were quite tired when they arrived. We went to Mom's party and then met up with them after. Emma bonded with both of them right away, and took them on a tour of the entire house by saying, "mon" (c'mon) and gesturing them with her hand wave as she said it. She calls both of them "poppa" because I don't think she can quite say "gramma" yet. 

After Matt's Mom and Dad got here, Emma noticed there were presents that appeared under the tree. She picked up the wrapped presents and gave them to us and said, "surprise" which I guess is her word for present. Gramma couldn't resist and Emma got to open up a few presents early :)

We went to Temple Square on Sunday night-- it was so busy! The lights were amazing as always, and it is always a striking sight to see the Salt Lake Temple all lit up. My favorite spot is the reflection pool, where they have lights floating in the water. 

Here's some more pictures, there's much more to come! So many pictures, so much to blog about! My fingers will be typed out by the day's end.

Entwistle Sealing

On March 26th, 2011, Matt, Emma, and I were sealed to eachother in the Oquirrh Mountain Temple. It was such an amazing experience- the whole day was wonderful. Matt and I were able to sit in the celestial room together while we waited for everyone to arrive, and it was a very surreal moment. I loved listening to the promises of the sealing between husband and wife, and when they brought Emma in I about lost it. She was such a good baby and didn't make a peep, just gave Grandma Entwistle a huge smile at the altar. I am so thankful that we are able to be with our families together for eternity. Thanks to everyone who came to support and help with everything, we appreciate and love you all! We had a couple pictures taken, but it was pretty windy and cold, so we are going to reschedule and do an official family portrait when the weather is nicer. Here's a couple from the temple:
