I know, Walt Disney has the market on this catch phrase, but I have to disagree with the location he elected to call, "The Happiest Place on Earth." For us, the Seattle Temple (or any temple, for that matter) is "The Happiest Place on Earth!" 
Why? Well, because the temple is the only place on Earth where an Earthly Family can be transformed into an Eternal Family.
As Samantha's adoption had just been finalized on April 13th, we chose Saturday, April 23rd to attend the temple and be sealed for time and all eternity.
Samantha was so beautiful. Amazingly enough, she still fit into her blessing dress so that's what she wore for the sealing. The entire time, she was focused on the Sealer, quietly listening as he spoke to us and performed the ordinance. When he was done, she looked at both me and Eddie and just had the biggest smile on her face! It was perfect!
Afterward, we went outside onto the temple grounds for pictures. What a wonderful way to start our Easter weekend! I am so grateful for my family, for the temple and for the blessings that come from the gospel of Jesus Christ!
