Gracie's Sealing Day-Aug 22,2009

Yesterday Gracie was sealed (united) to our family forever in a special religious ceremony at the Twin Falls LDS Temple. It was a wonderful day, and we were thrilled to have family and friends there to share the day with us. It's wonderful to have all of our adoptions finalized, and the family "gathered." We are so grateful for each of our children and their birth families. Without them, we wouldn't be the family that we are! Thanks for everyone for their support and love as we've traveled this journey to build our family.

I'll have more pictures once my family sends/emails them to me. I delegated the picture taking so I don't have many yet. Enjoy!

I was actually able to re-arrange my pictures, but now can't figure out how to space them so I can type below them so I'll have to tell you about the first two here.

Picture 1-Gracie is all dressed up and ready to go to the temple. Both of my girls love to dress in pretty dresses and look in the mirror. She was very pleased with herself when I got her dressed yesterday.

Picture 2- I love this picture of the my four big kids walking to the door of the temple. Kirill and Alex are very good to help with Courtney and Gracie.

The Twin Falls Temple is a very beautiful building. This isn't the best picture, but it's the one I have.
Gracie decided to try on Caroline's dress today. It fit her and looked very cute. She started to dance and twirl like a princess in her pretty dress.
