Bosotn

A couple of weeks ago we enjoyed a great Saturday in Boston. It was ward temple day, and the youth of the ward volunteered to babysit younger children at a nearby stake center so that parents could attend a session. What a wonderful act of service! It was neat to have Emi, Clara and James prepare and drive the two hours to the temple with us. Usually they're home with a babysitter, so this was a welcome change. They had a great time....and so did Jim and I! After our session, we enjoyed walking around the temple grounds and admiring the temple.
After spending the morning at the temple, we took the kids to the Boston American Girl store!

Emi and Clara were sooo excited! They dressed their dolls special, just for the occasion. They loved everything in the store (it was really neat!). Every girl's and mom's dream store! Even Jim and James enjoyed it!


Emi and Clara were thrilled with their purchases. Glasses for their dolls and trading cards for themselves.....plus they enjoyed making their Christmas lists! :)


After shopping, on to the Cheesecake factory! Jim and I have a tradition of always going out to eat at the Cheesecake factory after we attend the temple. The kids loved eating out and Emi and Clara thought it was extra special to bring their American Girl dolls to the restaurant!

  1. I just found your blog through Sarah and Kristen. It's so fun to see your BIG kiddos! Reading your latest adventures makes me miss the east. We had some great times in Boston and at the American Girl doll store too!
