A few months back Lily really started to get into the Temple! We talked about it in Family Home Evening and she also talked about it in Nursery. From these two lessons, she has gained a real love for the Temple! Every time she sees a picture of the Temple, she gets very excited. Every night she requests that TJ sing "Lub see Temple," and some nights it is requested multiple times. We can't start getting ready for bed without Lily requesting, "I love to see the Temple." If you ask her where she is going to get married, she will respond with "the Temple!" So back in August, TJ and I decided that we would take her to the Denver Temple after Church, so we could avoid crowds and she could wonder around. To say she was EXCITED is an understatement! All the way there, she was so excited to be taking a trip to the Temple! When she got out of the car her smile just grew!Denver Temple
While we were walking around the Temple, TJ asked Lily who is on top of the Temple. Her first response was, "Jesus." Quickly followed by, "Moroni." She would say, "Pretty White Moroni Temple," as we walked around! She is just too cute! We also talked about how the Temple is Jesus and Heavenly Father's house. She thought that was really cool!
I love that she is admiring the Temple in this picture! She was amazed at how big it was. The last time she was at the Temple was back in December for TJ's sisters wedding. She was just over one and didn't really know what was going on. Now she just LOVES to see the Temple!
We also enjoyed the beautiful flowers that are around the Temple! Lily enjoyed all the different colors!
This was such a great experience for our little family! To see our sweet Lily get so excited about the Temple brought us great joy! We hope to one day take her inside the Temple and show her the beauty found inside! We hope her love for the Temple grows and grows!

Great job, guys. You are both wonderful parents!
her love will grow. Cora was just like that and to this day she still loves to talk about the temple and loves to go see it and walk around, she gets really sad that she cannot go in. she just says that she will go in when she grows bigger.
That is so sweet. I'm not going to feel bad that Bryce is completely oblivious to the temple because, well, he's a 2 year-old boy. I'm totally impressed with Lily though!
So sweet!
