Welcome Home Jeffy!





















































































We were all so excited for Jeff to finally come home! Maxwell and I even made a paper chain to count down the days. We cleaned the house and made signs. We all went and picked him up from the airport to welcome him home. After leaving the airport, we went back home to eat soup and salad. He had to meet him the Stake President right after we ate, but after he got home we sat around the table and Jeff told us some fun stories from his mission. We are so glad he is home, it has been so fun spending time with him before he goes back up to BYU.

Eating yummy food...












Some of the kids making turkey cookies













Thanksgiving this year was lots of fun! Jeff came home just 2 days before. We all drove out to Katie and Dave's house, and since everyone was there we got to take family pictures and not leave anyone out! It was pretty amazing taking pictures all of the kids were very cooperative, and we actually got a perfect shot! After pictures we went back to the house to eat our yummy Thanksgiving feast. There was so much good food, Katie had to make 2 turkeys for our huge group. The best part of the day was finding out that 2 more babies will be added to the family! Logan and Karen walked into the house wearing "Big Brother" and "Big Sister" shirts. We are all so excited!
