Halloween weekend happened to be the only Sunday where Dawnanne(my sister) had all 5 of her kids home in a while and probably for many years to come. Nathan Gill returned home from his mission in Ontario, Canada the Wed. before Halloween and Collin Gill his little brother, left on his mission to Kentucky the Wed. after Halloween. Clark, the oldest brother flew out from California with a friend Marissa, and the first night they had a quadruple date (with youngest brother Josh who is finally old enough to date). The rest of the weekend was the Farewelcome for Nate and Colin! Here is a picture of them playing games on Sunday!
Denver happened to get the biggest snowstorm in 12 years 2 days before we were headed out..so with many prayers and the a few hours delayed, the sun shone bright and led us on dry roads safely! It made for a very fun time in Colorado. We don't ever get snow like this in Wichita. Brock didn't even know what it was...crazy!
It was a great weekend, we started off at a Halloween party with the Ackers and got to see many of the cousins and aunts and uncles. We will return for the holidays to spend more time with them!
Lots of my side of the family came out for the big weekend, Patti and her daughter Gentry, Amy and all her family, Jan, Stacie and the grandparents! We played lots of games, ate lots of yummy food, went trick or treating and even dressed up as burritos for free Chipotle...well the braves ones did...
It was a great weekend and good experience for my kids. Especially Jaxson, he saw three cousins serving missions, his cousin Colin took him to the bank and Jaxson saw him take out all the money he had earned himself to pay for his mission. He also got to go to his cousin Grant's church as he received the priesthood. We are so grateful for the wonderful example family members are setting for my children and the unconditional love that is always felt!
