Halloween!!!!

It was a fast Halloween this year. We had to be at the Ferry terminal al 6'15 to meet everybody for the Stake to go to the Temple.
Thank goodness for the mall... every year kids go for an hour and collect candies from the stores. So we took them nice and early and it was so much fun.
People, again, stopped us to take pictures of our kids. They LOOOOVED their costumes and of course they loooved how cute they are ( excuse my bragging :D)... AND! Somebody complimented her make up :D.... Excuse my bragging again :D...
There were tons of people and it was hard to squeeze among everybody.



For some reason costumes for adults get more skanky year by year.... like there is a competition for who wears the most slutty ... well... I would have given away some prizes there.
But... after getting home we had time to get our luggage and go to the ferry.
The trip there was alright. We spent the night at a Days Inn and we had to get up at 6'30 to get to the temple in time for the 10 o'clock session.
It was great! I loved it! I so needed it too! There is something about being in the Temple and having a baby inside that makes it extra especial :D
After that, we ate at a pizza place and then spent all our extra time at the Desseret Book store.
Everybody was waiting for us on the bus. And shortly after we started making our way back home, we had to stopped because Brent my brother-in-law was having an emergency. They called the ambulance and 2 came plus a firetruck.... to make the story short, they ended up taking them to the Hospital and we made back in schedule.
As we got home, we were most happily welcomed by our children...who apparently they have missed us sooooooooo much... I love moments like that.
I did miss them too. Probably the greates sacrifice that I had made to go to the Temple was to leave my kids.... and I did feel that God will bless me for every little sacrifice that I'll ever make to go to His Holy House.
I can't wait to have a Temple in Vancouver. We will still have the ferry ride, but we won't have to go thru the border so that will make things easier.
On Sunday we went to Church and Carmen bore her testimony. She always wnat to now.... so does Evan! When she is done he says: "My turn!"
We had McKenzie over for dinner... he is fairly new to our ward... such a nice guy and Carmen adores him.
They left for Choir practice and I made cookies for when they came back.
All in all... a great weekend!

¡¡Que guapos estaban tus hijos de chulapos!! No daban nada de miedo, estan riquisimos, como se nota de donde es la madre jeje.
Y si que tienes razon ir al templo ya de por si es especial, pero cuando estas embarazada... es mucho mas especial. Me acuerdo que Samuel cuando estuvimos en una sesión no paro de moverse en todo el rato.
Me alegro que tuvieras un fin de semana tan especial.
