April was an incredible special time for our family - A-man's adoption was finalized and we were able to go to the Salt Lake Temple and be sealed together as a forever family! It was the neatest experience for all of us. One thing was especially special for Jason and I was the fact that we were also married in the Salt Lake Temple almost 10 years earlier. We had the exact same sealer who performed our marriage ceremony perform the sealing of A-man to us. It kind of felt like we were getting married all of over again but even more special because now we were adding our son to our famly.
We all got ready that morning - even A-man got a special haircut for the occasion.
Then mom, dad, and A-man drove down to Salt Lake to go to the temple together. When we got there we went all over the temple and then we took A-man to the nursery. They were so sweet there and he was excited to play. Then mom and dad went to get ready and they would meet up with A-man again when it was time to be sealed together. It was such a neat day - our immediate family were almost all there (we missed a few people but one day we will have them there). In addition A-man's birth great-grandparents were able to be there with us to share this special day. It was wonderful to meet them and have them be a part of this special occasion. A-man was very talkative (which isn't new) and kept everyone laughing at how entertaining he was. Immediately after the sealing Aiden looked up at Jason and leapt into his arms and gave him a huge smile and laugh. It was super special.
After the sealing we took a couple of pictures outside the temple as a family. We didn't take a ton of pictures because it was raining and we didn't want to keep A-man out in the rain for very long. But we took a few special pictures of such a special day!
