Sibling Photo Session

So for Christmas, Laura and Heather thought it would be nice to have photos taken of each of us to give to mom and dad. Laura has a friend from high school who does photography, so in December we had a little photo shoot in a park in Provo. All of us got ready at the house, so we were sure mom and dad would suspect something was up, but luckily they didn't. It was very cold, and each of us would take turns sitting on Krista's lap to keep her warm :). We took individual and group photos, and then did some sibling pictures Laura could take with her on her mission. The pictures turned out beautifully. Glenn and April sent some pictures of the kids and their family that we included in the gift as well. It was so fun to see them open the pictures and see the looks on their faces! We actually have them hanging up now, which, considering our family, usually doesn't happen :). It is so fun to walk in the house and see them. I'm glad we did this because it preserves some very happy memories for our family :).

Laura Into The MTC

On January 28, Laura went into the MTC to go on her mission to Italy. It was a day full of mixed emotions. There were a lot of tears, but also joy that she was doing what the Lord wants her to do. We all miss her very much, but I know she'll be a wonderful missionary!
