Canadians (wait, Dutchies) in Town

We had the pleasure of family visitors. Oh, how we enjoy them when they come. Everyone is so great with the kids and showers them with attention. First we had Melvin and his friends for dinner. . .and a game or two with the kids. The next day we got Molly (Margreet) and Tessa. The kids were so excited to have them here. The highlight of the visit was visiting Temple Square instead of stake conference (no one tell). I figured the kids would get more out of Temple Square exhibits and the Spoken Word than out of stake conference if I took all three alone. The kids had never actually been to Temple Square, sadly enough, except in the Christmas lights crowds and cold. They loved it. By the way, if you haven't been down lately, the Salt Lake Temple in miniature is really cool and worth a trip--especially for people who have never seen inside.

Everyone hanging out at Temple Square. Sophie and Tessa had wheels: Sophie so we could keep track of her, and Tessa to avoid killing her achilles tendon which was operated on a few weeks prior to the visit.

I love this baby!!!!!
