Quick Trip for a Special Day and a See You Later

Just a couple days before Christmas we packed up the car and drove up to Mesquite, NV. Our Whitaker cousins were getting ready for a big move and Tyler was getting ready to turn 8 and be baptized! We knew we couldn’t miss this opportunity to support Tyler and spend some time with them all before they headed off to Tennessee. The Whitaker’s have a fun tradition of getting bb guns and pocket knives for their 8th birthday. My boys were THRILLED to try them out (thanks so much Jax and Ty for sharing!).

Luke got his shots in.

Ethan was surprisingly meticulous about his shots.

Sadie and Alyssa got along really well. Alyssa had the perfect toys to play with and they just went to town!

We are going to miss having the Whitakers just a hop, skip and a jump away but we’re so excited to hear about what life in the East is like! We’re so glad we got to spend some time with you and we love all!
