So Grateful for Family!

My trip to Illinois was LONG overdue and AMAZING! I will always cherish the time I spent with my family!

Allison's birthday was spent in high style! She got a makeover, which looks so sophisticated. LOVE IT! She also got a pedicure and we ate at Nippons, which was a blast! Emily came over with Hunter and Averee too! It was a great day! Happy Birthday Allison! So glad I got to spend it with you!





The next day my sister Katie's oldest daughter, Britney, graduated from high school! She is so loved, as many of her family came a long way and were there to support her. Way to go Brit!!!
My Uncle Steve is the sweetest uncle ever! I'm so lucky!


Britney hosted a graduation party and did such a great job! So glad I got to go!

Emily's beautiful family!

Allison and Jesse hosted a HUGE family lunch after church. It was WONDERFUL! Here are sisters, cousins and sister-in-laws! Just missing Jamie, Marie and Margaret : (

Monday morning we went to the Chicago Temple to do some work for our family. We were all in tears as we sealed my Mom to her parents and my Dad to his. Definitely a highlight of my trip!

Monday evening we ate a delicious dinner at Jimmy and Andi's! That Brooke was such a hoot!

Katie was so sweet to take me out to lunch and then to the bus stop. I bawled most of the way to the airport! Such a perfect trip!

Phew Beth! Talk about a picture 'dump'- you just laid one out!! :)

We LOVED EVERY MINUTE of your visit and can't wait for the next time! Max was trying to convince me that since you had come here, we need to go there for a visit. When I said 'probably not for awhile' he pulled out 'But I need to meet her kids!!!' I think he thinks they are little :) Silly boy!
