Jared Has Returned with Honor

My brother Jared has been serving his full-time LDS mission in Calgary Canada for the last 2 years.  He had an incredible mission and returned with honor on Friday.  We made it up to the airport in plenty of time to wait for him amongst a crowd of people who were also waiting for missionaries.  I even made some signs for my girls to "hold."

His flight arrived on time and just a few minutes later, he came down the escalators as the last of a group of missionaries.  He looks so good!  Leila gave him the biggest, longest hug I've ever seen her give anyone.  She has been so excited for this day and asked me all week, "Go see Jared on Friday?"








After the airport, we all made our way up to Bountiful where we had a get-together with extended family.  Then the next day my mom hosted an open house so that some of his friends and the home ward could come and say hey.  Mom made cupcakes and cookies and decorated with all sorts of red and white stuff.  Leila loved stuffing her face with little chocolate balls and cupcakes and Ellie enjoyed being passed around and having everyone admire what a doll she is.
