The past week and weekend has been Mickelsen Family gathering time with the arrival of Jessica and Gigi on Sunday, June 26th. Jessica spent the week helping me with decorating ideas for our new home and time with her sisters and the family. Hailey and Conrad arrived late Friday night to spend the weekend plus July 4th with us. Adam joined us - flying in on Saturday morning. Hailey & Conrad along with the Craw family attended church at the MTC with Hal and I on Sunday. Jessica, Adam and Gigi then left for Layton to spend July 4th with Adam's family. We enjoyed a big dinner together Saturday evening at our home and then gathered again at Evan and Kelly's for a 4th of July barbeque and celebration. It was great to have time together! This week I am recovering from all the excitement!!

It was a fun weekend! I wish we all lived closer and could do it more often!
ReplyDeleteGreat 4th! We were with Missy's family, after baptizing Sam on Saturday.
ReplyDeleteHad such a great trip with their darling family - Sam was SO tickled to be baptized and get his very own scriptures - he carried them around on a shoulder strap constantly - even to our 4th of July picnic at Hidden Springs! We've had quite the time babysitting our brains out, and it's taken me until now to recover! I have happy memories of being with you the end of May. Thanks, again for your hospitality - you always make me feel so welcome!
How fun to see everyone. I especially love the one of all the grandkids. How did you do it? That's amazing!!! I love your blog background- so cute.
