Gilbert Open House

Our family attended the Gilbert Temple Open House this morning.  The kids started school late that day, expect Emily, so we thought it would be a great time to tour the Gilbert Temple.  The temple was so beautiful inside and out.  I loved hearing the quiet oohs and aahs from my children.  Everyone really enjoyed seeing the Celestial Room.  It's a beautiful room with an amazing chandelier.  There is a theme surrounding the temple - agave plant.  This plant was found throughout the temple - the stained glass windows, carpets, wood work, and so many other places.  The younger part of the plant blooms and while the older part protects the plant.  It's a symbol of the importance of families - parents helping their children bloom in the gospel.  It was a beautiful morning to go to the temple with my family.
