It's that most wonderful time of the year again and we are thinking of all our family and friends. This will be our first year since living in NC that we are having our Christmas day gathering solitos-only the Groves family. I am looking forward to a whole day of playing with toys, reading books and eating good food. Of course we will have to go outside and get freezing cold too, so we can come back inside, drink hot chocolate and watch a good movie.
Two weeks ago we made our first whirlwind trip to Washington D.C.. On Friday We went to the Capitol building and the Library of Congress and then spent the evening at the Washington D.C. temple visitors center. The kids loved the red, purple and gold lights, the nativities from around the world, and beautiful trees-and it reminded me of home and visiting Temple Square. Tyler and I got to go to the temple on Saturday, thanks to our wonderful friends who came with us. It is beautiful and I loved being surrounded by all things that remind me of Christ, especially to kick off the Christmas season.
Porter turned eight on Dec 17 and so not only are we looking forward to Christmas and New Years but to his Baptism. He will be baptized on Jan 1 at 6:30-and you are all invited:)What a great way to start the new year!
We love you all and our hearts are with you as we all remember Christ and the gifts he gives to us!
