Welcome Home!

The past two weeks have been 

"OVER THE TOP" joyful for our family

We welcomed home TWO returned missionaries in January 2015

One from Sister #1

and

One from Sister #2

As we compared notes with each other we decided 

that there is nothing that is quite comparable

to welcoming home a missionary.

Between the two of us we've been through....

marriage

childbirth

marriage of a child

birth of a grand child

All wonderful beautiful events in one's life...

but simply nothing is quite like the elation you feel

of welcoming home a missionary.  It's different.

We both felt that this must be what heaven will feel like

when we see our loved ones again 

and we are welcomed home by our Heavenly Father.

The pictures say it all.

Such a wonderful site to us as Sisters!

They weren't shy about displaying their stuff animals, which were a gift to each of them from Grandma Dix!

Well Done thou good and Faithful Servants!!!
