Grace's Last Week Prior to the MTC
























Our missionary (who likes to pose for pictures) has entered the Missionary Training Center in Provo, UT. After three weeks she will then be heading to Tampa, FL for the remaining eighteen months.

We are very excited for her. She will make a terrific missionary and as if all the boys weren't already finding her a diamond of a catch...now she'll add the "RM" (Returned Missionary) status to her dating resume - so, watch out!

I feel lucky to have had one full week with her at home; the "last week."

She and I ran to-and-fro picking up last minute items, scouring the mall for ultra comfortable tracting shoes, and making a super fun trip with Mom to Pocatello to consult our personal bike expert, Seth.

Sisters on bikes are the best! Been there, done that. There's nothing like wearing a helmet in high fashion, while yanking your skirt out of the chain as you ride.
























Later in the week we met up with Lauren at the Rexburn Temple to do a session.

For those of you who haven't been to this temple, the chandaliers in the Celestial Room are amazing and a new fav of mine.

























Grace took her Endowments out in the Idaho Falls Temple. Several sibblings were able to attend.

Afterwards we took some pictures on the temple grounds. Someone told mom we were doing a funny face for this shot. Not fair.

























I'm adding a PDA warning because I'm anticipating Kristi's anquished ugh, sigh, followed by yuck, parents kissing...ooey.

Mom and Dad are standing outside the Idaho Falls Temple where these two "love birds" were married, thirty-five years ago.

Tweet. Tweet.

The First Annual Thomas Turkey Trot




Mom and Kristi blaze through the finish line.



High five to the finishers of the Turkey Trot



Kristi, Mom, Alisha and Grace pause to revel in the sweet taste of victory in the crisp morning air.

Check out the two bald eagles Sitani and I spotted on our lap around the park.

There's Mr. Turkey himself stopping for a picture with Alisha, Ember, Mom, Grace, Meeka, Dalynn and Sitani. Ember snuggles up to Grandma hoping to get a little warmer while Sitani can't wait to pick up another handful of snow. Meeka and Dalynn cuddle up close with hats and mittens. What a fun day!

Grace and her scarf match perfectly. Such style for a picture with Mr. Turkey.
