Grandma Finn's Funeral December 3, 2013

I will always have fond memories of going to visit Grandpa and Grandma in Idaho every year and them coming to visit us in Georgia when we were growing up.  We miss them dearly but know they are happy reunited together again.  

 I was so grateful to be able to go out to my Grandma's funeral and that Taylor could take off and stay with the kids.  He always does such a good job.  Jeremy Finn made this casket cover for Grandma and it was beautiful.

 Britney and I all bundled up since it was -7 outside.  We froze to death and some of us had no coat.  Crazy people!

 Riding over to the church for lunch.  Travis sat in the front like he was a little kid again.  It was really funny.  It was so nice all 4 kids being together with mom and dad.

 We went to Cafe rio with all the cousins in Idaho Falls and then back to Rexburg to see the movie Saratov approach.  Then Jeff and Tami took us around Rexburg to see all the changes.  This is the Rexburg Temple.  It is so beautiful.

Trip to Indiana for Thanksgiving.

We stopped in Arkansas and stayed at a Holiday Inn and let the kids swim.  They enjoyed it.  Taylor and I on the other hand froze.  The water was heated but we are wimps.  

 The next day we were on our home stretch and got to see our wonderful friends, the Erkelens who now live in Bloomington, Indiana.  It was so great to see them and their adorable children.  The kids loved hanging out with each other.

 Carsyn, Macy, Preston and Callie.  Paige and Nixon wouldn't get in the picture.  We had another hour left to my parents house.  We arrived on Tuesday night.

 Thanksgiving day the men in the kitchen cutting the turkey.

 All the delicious rolls and desserts.  I made a cheesecake and Heather made the other pies.

 Baylee and Callie with their matching sweaters.  The Missionaries came over for Thanksgiving day and they played a game with all the kids.

 Dallin getting ready for the prayer.  We just love him!

 Dallin hadn't had ice cream very much and he is licking it out of the bowl.  It was so funny.

 The kids started a wrestling match with Luke and Jackson.  It was so fun to watch.  They got a little crazy and surprised no one got hurt.  Luke and Jackson were such good sports to deal with all the younger ones jumping on top of them.

 Awwwh

The video of the wrestling match!

 Thursday night Heather's kids spent the night at Mom and Dad's.  We had a hard time going to sleep.

 The  kids drinking their smoothies the next morning.

 Friday night we had to say goodbye to everyone since we were leaving the next morning.  All the adults went out to eat and the kids stayed at Heathe's house.

 Madelyn was so sad that Callie had to leave.  She started crying!  Wish we could see them more often.

 Paige on the ride home.  

 On our way we stopped and stayed one night at Bill and Mary Ann's house.  They were so lovely to us.  Mary Ann made us a yummy soup and sandwiches and we had a brunch the next morning with Taylor's cousins.

 Margie really enjoyed doing this puzzle with Callie.  It was cute watching them.

"Catching Fire" party and midnight premeire!

 Maegan put on another great party for the second movie of "Hunger Games."  She had some fun games and cool food from the movie.

 I even put my hair in a Katniss braid.  We had a great time.
