Third Sunday Dinner at Julie's

When our missionaries, Tom & Julie, leave for the Philippines we will miss their gracious hospitality. These third Sunday dinners have meant so much to us and they have been a binding influence on our family.

Julie & Tom's Mission Call

 

We are thrilled that Tom & Julie have chosen to serve an 18 month mission. The Philippines is lucky to get them. We will miss them terribly but would have it no other way. 

Jace Dean Lancaster is Born

Jace was born on 31 January 2024 to Ciera and Seth in St. George, Utah. They were kind enough to have his middle name be Dean to honor me (Claudine) though spelled as it should be for him. I am so thrilled. I love Ciera and Set so much. Shortly after they came home, Ciera's friend, Jostlyn, photographed their adorable family. I love the photos.

Jace weighed over 9 lbs. at birth.

Greyson seems pleased with his baby brother.

                                                                Such cute treasures.

Christmas 2023

 

So many cute things leading up to Christmas Day. Ciera's children experienced lots of festivities, Katelyn did the Elf on the Shelf with magical and adorable ideas, Lyndsey's boys got a new swing set and a new sandbox, Julie and Tom went on a cruise just before Christmas to Tahiti and Kim's family all gathered again. Celebrating Christ's birth is the perfect time to bring families together. 

All the visitors that came to wish us a Merry Christmas made us so happy. 

Chantel, Chase and Mason came on Christmas Eve with a dinner and they came again Christmas Day to make sure we were not alone. It meant so much to us. 

Thanksgiving 2023 at Kari & Kendyall's

 

It was so kind of Kari and Kendyall to include us in their Thanksgiving. Kari always cooks amazing meats and there is plenty of good food. Hayden came home from Columbia University and it was great seeing him. I always love being with Katelyn and Paige. Loved every minute of it. 

Kim and Lyndsey Visit

 

Halloween

 

Lauren and Kevin got a new puppy. Now they have Bonnie and Hank. Chantel helped Levi go trick-or-treating. Crew was Harry Potter and flew above Conrad and his dinosaur. Shelby and Spencer celebrated in Seattle. Lucy and Eden were cute little pumpkins. Hayley helped her boss with an amazing Halloween party with the beautiful balloons Hayley prepares so expertly.
