BUILDING A TEMPLE


Since last year Owen has been wanting to go to the temple (specifically INSIDE THE TEMPLE). My answer to him is always, someday I promise we will! He loves it when we drive by and look at it from the highway. And Owen gets so excited when we go to the visitor center and get to see the temple up close. 

Well last week when we went to his cousin, Evan's birthday party, Owen's Aunt Sue and Uncle Jeff gave Owen his birthday present because they weren't able to go to his party a few weeks ago. Anyways, Owen didn't open his present until we got into the car, but the whole way home, Owen kept expressing his gratitude for the gift that his aunt and uncle had given him. The next day, I walked into our room where Owen was and all of a sudden, Owen says he needs to make something for Aunt Sue because he loved the gift she gave him so much. I asked what he would like to make for her and immediately he ran into his room to grab his blocks and began building something. When he was finished I asked what it was that he built. He said and I'm not exaggerating, I built a beautiful temple for Aunt Sue and Uncle Jeff to go to.
