Yeah, so all winter I have holed myself up and cozied with Jaeden as we have become intimately familiar with the characters of Cars 2.  I have dreamed and planned and replanned a Disney World vacation for our family that we may or may not ever take. I have enjoyed the warm days outside with Jaeden... and let Matt enjoy the cold ones with him.

We have enjoyed Valentine's Day, even though Jaeden was sick. However, that didn't stop him from loving the cards from the grandparents... and a few treats. That's a mustache lollipop from my mom.

But the best thing that has happened to us this winter is that we all got to be sealed in the Bountiful Temple as a forever family! (If any of you have pictures that include me there, please send them my way!)

In explaining a little more about the concept of Christmas to Jaeden, I told him how we give presents to people to show our love for them just like Jesus gave us the gift of the Atonement. I asked him who he wanted to give a gift to, and he said, "Daddy!" I asked him what he wanted to get Daddy, and he hesitated and didn't say anything. I started listing off things Daddy wanted or needed, and Jaeden said he wanted to get Daddy a tie. Jaeden picked out the tie on his own, and I couldn't pass up the matching child's tie so that they would match for our sealing day.
