Griff and I made it to Mesa and quickly had a party to look forward to. A bunch of my high school girlfriends came over for soup in bread bowls and sweetcakes… YUM! Most of us haven’t seen one another since graduation and we have all had a baby since then. 
(Collette Warner and Eden, Hali Turk and Tillman, Amy Germaine and Max Jr, Sarah Bledsoe and Hudson, Lauren Pew and Emery, and Me and Griff… we missed those who couldn’t make it!)
Landon joined us December 18 and we had him all to ourselves for 3 weeks. (Thanks EY for paternity leave!) Griff had some great quality DAD time!
We’ve enjoyed time at the cabin, golfing, walks in the sun, and playing with my parents, Parker and Hali and our nephew Tillman.
We were lucky enough to steal away to Utah for a weekend with the Watts! Unfortunately, no pictures were taken on my end, but we were able to catch a few videos with the FLIP. Landon’s only request for his birthday was to ski with Daxon (age 6) and Shane (turned 4 Jan 13) . Here is the evidence of that great day!
And the final BIG NEWS of the break is that my father has been called as a mission president. My parents will find out in February which mission and leave the end of June for 3 years. 
We could not be more thrilled for them!
Molly! It was fun seeing you. Can you believe those eyes on Griff? What a handsome boy! My mom told me the news about your parents last night and I have to say I was not too surprised. They will be the best!
