Special Time With Family

Turning 12 is a big occasion - Xander was ordained a deacon and received the Aaronic Priesthood on Sunday, October 9, 2016. Brian Washburn, Jason King, Grandpa Pierce, David, Xander, Grandpa Schaeffer, and Mike Archbold.

It was extra special because both his grandpas were in the circle.

We love when family visits because we get to include them in all our fun activities. We all cheered Savannah on in her game against North Harford...

her biggest fans!

And on Saturday it was time to support Xander and his Buccaneers!

Xander had a great game, making some good moves and keeping the other team in check!

This game was on my birthday and there was that moment when Devin's dad, Marvin, kicked off the crowd in singing Happy Birthday to me while David led. That's a first for me, being sung to by a crowd; it was a tad embarrassing. But the good thing was our boys got the win!

All smiles after the game...and a bit sweaty!

It was definitely a birthday treat to have my parents here. We all went out to eat and spent the evening watching football.

Our visits are always filled with those special little moments, like reading books together;

playing games;

and just laughing about silly things.

All too soon it was time to say goodbye. We love these visits and look forward to the next one!
