We are not old enough to have a grandson going on a mission!!!!

 It doesn't seems possible that Kolton, our grandson, could be old enough to go on a mission but he is.  He has been called to serve in the Spain, Malaga Mission.  The weeks preceding his entering the MTC were very busy and full.  He spent a lot of time with his friends and family.  He was able to attend the temple several different times.

These are some of his good friends who have had a very positive influence on his decisions to serve a mission.

 The day before he was to enter the MTC, he and family were able to attend the Mount Timpanogos Temple.

On December 5th, 2012, Kolton was to enter the MTC and learn the things he needed to know to be a full time missionary.  He was up bright and early that morning (6:30) reading his scriptures.

On the way to the MTC, it was decided to stop at Panda Express for lunch.

Here's Kolton's fortune.  It says, "You are heading in the right direction".  How appropriate is that??

And then it was time for the final goodbyes to the family.

And he was off for his two year service to the Lord.  Love you Kolton. You will be an awesome missionary.  We are proud of you.

This is what Thanksgiving looked like at our house this year!!

Have I mentioned how much I love my newly remodeled house?  It was so nice at Thanksgiving this year to fit all of us in one room.  Awesome!!!!  Here is what Thanksgiving looked like at our house.

We even got to have the four full time missionaries eat with us this year.

We were kind of short on desserts but somehow we managed to get full.  I did very little of the preparation of our Thanksgiving dinner since I had gotten home the day before.  The girls made a very delicious meal.

Our newest little grandchild (Arianna) was blessed by her father (Deco) the day after Thanksgiving.  It was one of those special events in our lives.  She is beautiful and so loved in our family.
We have so many blessings to be thankful for I can't even begin to mention them individually.  Family is at the top of the list and the list is long!!!  So grateful for all of our blessings!!!
