group of 5 - no more!!

I am finally changing the header picture on this blog. I am only changing it because we are going to have a new family picture very soon. We are a "Party of Six", but we have not been able to take a picture of the six of us for almost 2 years now and it has been HARD! We took some photos last winter for our Christmas cards but it just wasn't complete because there were only 5 of us in the photo. (By the way, thanks Heidi for the great photos, and for hiking up to this viewpoint with us! I loved the clouds that day and I always love the view of the city.) I absolutely adore these three girls, but again . . . there should be 4 kids! The last time they were together was 23 months ago:
Just a few more days until we are together again. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!
btw - about this photo. . . we bought Brady some beautiful ties, (what else do you buy a boy for Christmas 10 days before he leaves on his mission?) Then as a joke, Melanie and I searched through a local thrift store to buy the absolute ugliest tie that was available to purchase. Guess what he wore to the MTC?
