After Thanksgiving we had a visit from Branner (Brock's brother) and Eva. We had to introduce them to extraordinary desserts for Eva's birthday.
We spent Christmas up with the Solanos in Bakersfield, and as always came home with fond memories and lots of good loot. Ryker was there and Shannon came down with her two boys, Aldi and Rei.
Then Claire got to meet her Plumb Grandparents for the first time. They left their mission in England for a week to come to my brother Riley's wedding.
We are happy that Riley found Kristen Barlow and convinced her to join the family. She is awesome.
Ashlyn and Claire love their cousins and aunts and uncles...
Aunt Becca moved out:( Brock didn't have classes for a whole month, so we also got to spend a lot of time playing. We went to listen to an interfaith choir that gave a Christmas concert at the temple, we decorated a tree, etc.
Our last adventure was spending a week-end with all of Brock's siblings up in Bakersfield to pull a "while-you-were-out" for Brock's Mom's birthday. We set up an office for her, and though Ashlyn was prepared to join in the fight, we couldn;t have gotten it done without the help of the Kontzs and Davis family who took care of Claire and Ashlyn for us. We were so happy Cordel and Katie were in town with their daughter Eve, and, as expected, Ashlyn and Eve were fast friends.
