Myrna returned from her 18 month mission in Montreal. We went up early and Leah did some shopping and Dave exchanged his socks from Bass Pro Shop. We then quickly ate lunch in the car as we drove to the temple. Our kids had not been to the Calgary temple yet and I thought this would be the perfect time. We invited all the cousins and parents that wanted to to come with us. After baptisms we went to wait at the airport until Myrna landed.
We had made a banner to welcome back and so had some of the other grandkids.
The kids waited and played until it was time for her plane to land.
All of us waiting to greet her.
After her landing and hugs all around (it was fun to watch her hug Blake and Ashton, they have both grown up so much since she left) we gathered luggage and went to Atwood's for a delicious BBQ and catch up. It was so fun to hear so many stories and experiences that Myrna had. They following weekend we all got together. Everyone came in Thursday night. Friday was raining and cold, so we spent the day indoors just hanging out. Saturday warmed up a we went to the pool for a few hours. Leah had to work all weekend, but got to spend the mornings with us, and Cora called on Saturday to say hi to everyone. Sunday Myrna spoke in church and did a fantastic job. It was so well done. That night she had an open house and floats.
What a great example Grandma has been to all her grandchildren. Grandma did it and did it with honors. Congrats on a mission well done.
