We had our annual family white elephant party last night. It was my turn to host. We had 29 people in my house. It was crowded, but fun. Thank goodness everyone behaved themselves. This is not always the case at these parties... It is my mom's side of the family - her siblings and my cousins. Unfortunately only her one sister (she is one of 4)comes now. But I guess it's all good. We miss the others.
Me, my mom and my siblings.
My youngest brother, Adam and his family.
Keagan and his cousins.
Saturday was a great day! We started off with the child of record stake baptisms. There were only two that got baptized. One was baptized by her bishop and the other was our recent convert family's child Owen - Yanni's nephew. The prayers, talks, and musical numbers were all done by the siblings of Owen. They were short and so sweet and tender. I love the simple and beautiful testimonies of these newer converts.
Then in the afternoon we went to Yanni's farewell open house. I think he is reporting Wednesday. He is going to the Ogden mission. He is going to be such a wonderful missionary!
It might snow this week! It keeps changing on the weather ap for tomorrow. Of course, Keagan is hoping for a late start. I'm subbing tomorrow. I'm not sure how that works with a late start..
This week it was one of our missionaries birthdays, but we didn't find out until 8:30 pm ish, so we ran to the dollar store and got him a balloon and candy. We have fun missionaries right now.
Have a great week!
Love you all lots!
