Leaving or coming? Hard to say

Such a fun clashing of worlds this week!  Monday my sister Nancy fed us dinner in Lake Point.  My parents, 2 sisters and their spouses, my sister-in-law, a niece and a nephew with their spouses and kids came by and it was so much fun!  So great to be able to see them all with just one evening away from Joni and the new baby.  We loved playing and bonding with Tayson and Kinsley and it was fun to have lots of time with Joni and Mikey.  Richard got lots of handyman projects done in the house!

 Don't worry I got my traditional picture of Kinsley in her father's hand for my collection!

This cute family!  Joni and Mikey are awesome parents.  There's a lot of love in my house while I'm gone!  I love it!

Our couch and chair look tiny in Josh and Meg's huge basement.

We even slept in our own bed!

We got back in time for the Cleveland ward's Christmas party.  It was a blast!

We spent our last night with Josh's family.  They just got the basement carpeted and ready in time for us!  We went to their ward Christmas Party.

 Family time!

Wearing her "Grandma love me" onesie!

Tayson got Grandpa into Mario Cart!  He played it even when Tayson left and did something else.

We did some decorating of our apartment thanks to my sibling's fun gifts.

We also got to go to a dinner with my Scripture group!  The 10th anniversary of meeting together! 

One story; at the airport on the way home; Elder Quincy saw a bird crash into a window trying to fly out of the terminal.  I asked the clerk at the desk if we could open a window and let it out.  They say it didn't  open.  Elder Quincy put on his gloves and carried the bird to the gate so then let them use his glove to take the bird down to the door and let it go.  Lots of people were watching and noticed.  The clerks gave us awesome seats on the plane for our flight home.  We even got to sit together and had lots of leg room.  Elder Quincy is the coolest!

People at the airport all asked if we were coming home or leaving.  We didn't know what to say.  It really felt like we were on our way home, so we said "kind of both; We're leaving one home to come to another home".  Since we got home last night Elder Quincy has given 4 blessings.
