I Love to See the Temple!
Of all the places the Gadd Family goes, the temple is the most important. Click on the picture to read one woman's feelings about the temple. Her testimony expresses perfectly the way our own family feels about the temple. We are excited to have one of God's holy houses so close to our own!

Merry Christmas!!!

After sending 50 of these photos to the wrong store (Lindon, UT), I'm resorting to this post.
We hope all of our family and friends around the globe are happy and well.
We are grateful for the part each of you has played in our lives over the years and always look forward to times when our paths cross.
Our family has had an eventful and miraculous year.
Like most families we have stayed busy with school, work, church, sports, and music lessons, taken some exciting trips and weekend excursions.
However, the majority of the excitement & travel revolved around the newest addition to our family. At the beginning of 2010 we decided to adopt Marlee, a beautiful 3 yr. old little girl. The next few months were spent traveling to Arizona for visits as we were preparing for and anticipating bringing her home.
We were able to bring Marlee to Missouri in April. Although there were obvious adjustments to make Marlee fit right into our family dynamics. Maggie, Cora & Cooper were thrilled to have another sister and we all wonder what life was like without Marlee in it.
The adoption was finalized on November 4th. One month later we traveled to Rochester, NY and were sealed as an eternal family in the Palmyra, NY temple.
Needless to say, as our numbers increase so does the craziness, but our joy increases even more! What a wonderful blessing this entire experience has been for each member of our family.
Merry Christmas!
We love you!
The Gadd Family
Kevin, Molly, Maggie (9), Cora (7), Marlee (3), & Cooper (1)
p.s. if you would like a physical picture, please ask.
