Yes, it has been 2 years!!!!

Unbelievably, it has been 2 years since Josh left to serve in the France Paris mission. As the day drew near that he was to return home, his nieces and nephews (and parents) were sooooo excited. They made signs to take to the airport.

The day finally arrived and everyone was watching for Elder Lyman to arrive.

After awhile, the waiting became too hard. It felt like another 2 years to some.

Finally, Elder Lyman was spotted coming down the escalator!!!
He was greeted with hugs and smiles all around.



Love that smile!!!
Check out those awesome French shoes.
Josh's high school classmate, JJ Grover, arrived at the airport about 5 minutes before Josh. They were able to visit with each other for a few minutes.
What would a celebration be without lots of good food!!!!
Elder Lyman is back home after faithfully serving a mission in France.

Well done, thou good and faithful servant.

Well done, thou good and faithful son.

You have seen the field is white, You have shared the Gospel light,

You have earned the Savior's gentle praise, well done.

Girl's night at Noelle's

We had so much fun at our "annual girl's night" at Noelle's house. We did Zumba with our professional instructor (Marilyn) leading us. We all built our own pizzas and baked and ate them.

The "kids" all made cute pillowcases with their names on them (sorry, I didn't take pictures of the finished pillowcases. They were darling!!)

And then it was movie and slumber time. Some of us slumbered more than others.

Noelle handed out antenna head bands for everyone to wear.

Thanks Noelle for planning another fun party for the girls. We look forward to next year!!
