We've been home for over a week, and life has seemed nonstop since we've been home. Just catching up on housework, getting ready for Christmas, celebrating Sami's birthday, and my calling in Young Women has kept me very busy. But I wanted to write a few things about my trip.
First of all, it was COLD! Fifteen below with the wind chill, for most of our trip. There were a few sunny days, but even with the sun out, it was much, much colder than we're used too. Good thing I had found some warm coats for the girls at yard sales before our trip. They had never been so bundled up.
My family wanted to have a birthday party for the girls while we were there. My mom made the girls' favorite: macaroni and cheese. My sister Rachel went out searching for balloons, which totally made the party for the girls!
This is my only sister, Rachel, and my nephew David. Rachel has lost 100 pounds since the last time I've seen her! She looks amazing and has so much more confidence. I love her.
My dad with ALL his grandkids:
I love my family. We, like all families, have our issues and problems to work through, and some of these issues made our trip a little stressful, and the fact that we all got sick a couple of times. But I am still glad we went. The girls loved getting to know their cousins and aunts and uncles. It was fun for me to see how loved Sami and Janie felt with my family. I am so grateful for the family that Heavenly Father put me in and has blessed me with. They are such a blessing to me.
