Parents' return!

My parents were in Graz, Austria for the past 18 months serving a mission. They had great experiences and loved working with the young adults so much. The flew home April 10th and got to the SLC airport late April 10th...about midnight after their long flight from Munich, Germany and then a 6 or 7 hour layover in Chicago...yeash! They were happy to finally get here!

The Airport

 Homecoming/Easter Party

The next morning we met at my sister's house for a party! The girls loved seeing my parents in person, though they were pretty shy at first. We had a yummy brunch and had a great time playing outside and being together.

My parents with the grandkids- minus the kids in Alaska...we missed them.

Easter Egg Hunt

Reagan is in this picture with the kids, she's just bent over looking at an ant on the cement!

 

 Presents

My parents brought back cute little dolls for the girl grandkids and bears (or a marmot or something!) for the boys. They also brought back lederhosen swimsuits for the guys and necklaces for us girls. Plus they brought back lots of chocolate. Mmm... 

Hilarious!

 Back Home

Saturday evening they came to their house for the first time since being back. We had hung this cute sign that my sister-in-law, Jess had made and their neighbors had also put a tape message up after! My parents had forgotten stuff about their house, like which light switches turn on which lights. It was funny to see! We are so glad they are back and have been loving being with them!
