Mickelsen Family Gatherings!

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!!


Jessica and Gigi - by the end of the week Gigi had warmed up to Grandma and the wild and crazy cousins!

Mother's Day

We gathered at Tricia and James' house for a Mexican themed dinner for Mother's Day. The cousins enjoyed their noisy, crazy and fun time together. Of course we wished that Adam, Jessica, Gigi, Conrad and Hailey could have been there too! These gatherings are precious family times that we missed while we were in Russia. It was a truly Happy Mother's Day!
