Clarice and Benjamin's Sealing

 

Going to the Seattle Temple for Clarice's Sealing.


We had some time so we walked around the Temple grounds and took some pictures.


Everyone looks so nice.

We left Hailey in charge to watch the kids while Jeni and I went inside for the Sealing.


We formed 2 lines outside to celebrate Clarice and Benjamin as they exited the Temple together.


Group photo with the Wheelocks.


Lots of family on Benjamin's side.

And a nice photo with the Ashcrafts.


Now just the Ashcraft girls.


Clarice and her brothers.

Hailey was taking photos too.

Our kids and 4 of Richard's represented the nieces and nephews from the Ashcraft side.

With Mom and Dad.



The tree behind everyone in the pictures had a hornet's nest in it. Thankfully we didn't see any hornets coming our way.


We all got to take a turn having our picture with Clarice.







James is so cute.




Aubrey is the most social one in the family, always looking to make a new friend.


The Wheelocks had a nice reception afterward.

Entering through the garden.



This place is on a large piece of property. It looked so nice with the tent and the lights set up.


Most everyone at the reception was family from either Clarice's side or Benjamin's, but it was nice to see the Neuffers come!

While the adults were hanging out and talking, the kids explored the rest of the grounds.

There was even a little playground.

The little house was pretty popular.



There's Aubrey making friends.




Ike up in a tree.


Hazel and Hailey found a spot to play checkers.


Playing some cornhole.

Congratulations, Clarice and Benjamin!
