Grand Finale to a Great Year


These pics are in no particular order.  Some of the events include those present when Matt was ordained an Elder.   Christmas Day/Eve. Matt's Open House after his Farewell.  Matt's last dinner with his family and Grandma Mednick.  Last pic as we dropped Matt off at the MTC.

What a wonderful end to a great year.  We are so happy that our family could spend so much time together this year for all our blessed events.  Sending Matt on his mission is the "icing on the cake".  
Although we are glad to have him in the service of the Lord, we will miss him so much, but we know that
the best is yet to come.  We can't wait to hear about all his experiences and learn of all the people he meets and learns to love.
Vaya con Dios!
Now our house is very empty and still.  Funny, though, sometimes when I pull up to our house after work and the truck is in the driveway, I get excited and think for just a second, "Matt is home"! Then reality hits!






We are so grateful for all of our blessings.  We have great joy!








We are so proud of all our kids and we love them with all our hearts.

We bid 2010 a fond farewell!

Looking ahead to what wonderful things 2011 has in store for us!!  

Can't wait!
