It's the most wonderful time of the year









We have had so much fun since last post and, as promised, lots of pictures! Jeff and the girls got to spend quite a bit of time here in Cali and I was so grateful to be able to be with them. Missouri is just too far away! I don't think I will launch into a "travel log" but we did pack alot in while they were here - shopping, Disneyland, the beach, sing-alongs, a dance party, picnics at the park, soccer games, and more. The most exciting thing of course, was Jordan returning home from his mission :) He seems to have settled into normal life these days and we are glad he is home! General Conference was last weekend and it was a much needed spiritual pick-me-up as usual. President Monson's talk on Sunday was a true highlight. The whole talk was about gratitude and the moment he began speaking I thought about my dad. My dad has always taught us that being grateful and appreciative is so important. I am thankful for my parents and the example they have always been to my brothers and me. I am a pretty lucky girl.
