#9 Read the Doctrine and Covenants with Christian

Christian and I finished reading the Doctrine and Covenants together two nights ago. Every year one of my goals will be (and has been so far) to read one of the standard works with Christian. I also made a goal for personal study, which I'm still working on for this year (the Old Testament...and it will take me the WHOLE year).

I love making it a goal to read with Christian! And I've seen the blessings come from reading scriptures and doing family prayers with him. We started the Book of Mormon again last night (we read it last year together).

I think next year I'm going to plan a family trip (during a long weekend perhaps?) down to Nauvoo. Reading the Doctrine and Covenants put me in the mood to visit again.

#21 Sew Temple Dress

My temple dress from pre-baby doesn't exactly fit anymore. I've been borrowing my mom's when I've gone to the temple since moving to Minnesota. I really wanted my own though, and didn't want to pay a whole bunch for the dress and shipping from Utah. I decided to make my own and it made my list of 26 Things. I had some time a couple days ago so I sewed it all up! (I had cut the pieces out a while ago. My most hated part of sewing...)

The best part about sewing your own clothes is that you can make them fit you exactly the way you want them to.

Here it is!
