My sisters (Amy, Maggie, Diane) and my mom came to visit this week! Diane moved to St. Charles, MO a little over a year ago and then had a baby! Mom flew out after the baby was born but the rest of us wanted a chance to hold little Jocelyn. So, we planned this weekend so we could all visit. I just happened to be the lucky sister who got to host! It was tons of fun. I drove to the airport late Thursday night to pick Diane and her cute little baby from the airport. Mom, Amy, and Maggie arrived at the house that night too.

On Friday, we talked and took turns holding Jocelyn. We went out for lunch and came back and talked and held the baby more. That night our ward had a chili cook-off and trunk or treat so Mom and Maggie came with us to that. (It's been exactly a year since we moved into our house and it warmed my heart to see the friends we've created in our new ward and the progress we've made!) Back at home, those still awake watched Hocus Pocus.

On Saturday, Kevin made everyone a big breakfast and then Mom, Amy, and Maggie went to do a session in the new Provo Temple. Diane and I drove to the church bookstore (since there aren't many of those in Missouri!) and I got to hold Jocelyn some more! We met for a late lunch and fine dining at McDonald's. That evening, after pizza and more visiting and picture taking, Amy treated us all to facials! We even fancied-up Savannah, Chey, and Cali, and then sent Chey and Cali off to their first church dance! (They had a much better time than they thought they would!)

On Sunday morning, Mom and I drove Diane and Jocelyn back to the airport. When we got back, Mom and Maggie and Amy left to drive back to Las Vegas. I'm so glad they came! It was so fun to be with all of them and catch up on each other's lives. Love those people.

My kids really loved Jocelyn, too!!

 

I don't know who these people are.

Before the dance!
