"We've been elfed" AGAIN!

That's what Phillip said when we got home on Friday. I've rubbed off onto him. :)
So on our way home after work we stopped to run some errands and came home to a plate of yummy goodies from the McGhie's! (check out the link to see all the yummy treats). They look too good to eat! I was tempted to break into them yesterday after church but decided that I would have real food first...but tonight, they're doomed to end up in my stomach. :)
We really love the McGhie family, and not just because of the stuff they give us. They've become great friends and their kids make us smile. The other day we decided we want our babies to look just like Lilly. (Or Lilly Moore, she's cute too).
Thanks Bryce and Nichole for sharing your family, friendship and talents with us!
I'll take a good elf-ing anytime! Guess it's time for us to start our own though...watch out, you may be on our hit-list.

The Reason for it all

We...solemnly proclaim that marriage between a man and a woman is ordained of God and that the family is central to the Creator’s plan for the eternal destiny of His children.

All human beings—male and female—are created in the image of God. Each is a beloved spirit son or daughter of heavenly parents, and, as such, each has a divine nature and destiny. Gender is an essential characteristic of individual premortal, mortal, and eternal identity and purpose.

...

The first commandment that God gave to Adam and Eve pertained to their potential for parenthood as husband and wife. We declare that God’s commandment for His children to multiply and replenish the earth remains in force. We further declare that God has commanded that the sacred powers of procreation are to be employed only between man and woman, lawfully wedded as husband and wife.

...

Husband and wife have a solemn responsibility to love and care for each other and for their children. “Children are an heritage of the Lord” (Psalms 127:3). Parents have a sacred duty to rear their children in love and righteousness, to provide for their physical and spiritual needs, to teach them to love and serve one another, to observe the commandments of God and to be law-abiding citizens wherever they live. Husbands and wives—mothers and fathers—will be held accountable before God for the discharge of these obligations.

The family is ordained of God. Marriage between man and woman is essential to His eternal plan. Children are entitled to birth within the bonds of matrimony, and to be reared by a father and a mother who honor marital vows with complete fidelity. Happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. Successful marriages and families are established and maintained on principles of faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, and wholesome recreational activities. By divine design, fathers are to preside over their families in love and righteousness and are responsible to provide the necessities of life and protection for their families. Mothers are primarily responsible for the nurture of their children. In these sacred responsibilities, fathers and mothers are obligated to help one another as equal partners.
