ELI GOES TO THE TEMPLE FOR THE FIRST TIME!

Since Eli turned 12 so late in the year and with the Gilbert Temple being closed during Fall Break and then with sports and holidays we didn't really have time to take him to the Temple so we finally were able to take him to do baptisms for the first time today! We had a wait quite a while and even ran into my cousins Kristen and Rick from California in there with their kids. Eli LOVED being in there and doing baptisms and confirmations. It's always so special taking your kids for the first time. Afterwards we told him he could pick anywhere to eat for dinner. Some how we ended up at Red Robin - I feel like I influenced that a bit since I was craving their french fries. He ordered everything he wanted, sodas, fries, burger and a milkshake and felt pretty cool! He came home and told the boys that when you go to the Temple for the first time you get to pick where you want to eat! We love this sweet soul of ours!
