On April 10th Darrin’s parents returned from their mission to Manchester, England. Our plane came into the airport about 30 minutes before theirs did, so were able to meet them at their gate “old fashion style.”
The first thing Grandpa did after some hugs was dig into his pocket and give the boys money from England. Some things never change!
We were so glad to have them back!!
The two pictures below were taken right after they got released the day after they got back.
We had a great time reconnecting and hearing all their mission stories. They brought back lots of cool souvenirs and European chocolate.
One night we ate homemade pizza “picnic style” because the men were busy playing a board game on the table!
Josh started work on his pinewood derby car. He was lucky to have Grandpa AND dad help him. Grandpa had some cool tools that made the work a little easier.
Saturday afternoon we ate dinner with the whole fam at our favorite, Chuck-a-Rama. The adults enjoyed chatting and the kids pigged out on all the yummy food and desserts!
Ella was born after Grandma and Grandpa left on their mission, so they had fun getting to know each other. She didn’t mind being held by either of them as long as I wasn’t in her sight.
Loves playing the piano!
Ready for church with daddy!
We saw a lot of Aunt Kristin. She came out about 3 times. The kids always have a blast running around with her and playing her phone.
The day we left it snowed. The kids built a couple snowmen and enjoyed making snowballs!
We had a great trip and are super glad that our Grandma and Grandpa are back safe and sound. We love them and are grateful for their example of service and dedication to the gospel. Can’t wait to see them a whole lot more in the coming months!
