Family updates!!

Ok so I sat most of the morning yesterday working on a family newsletter, that my sister and I send out every other month, and I put the update on the family there and neglected to add what is happening with the family here....... so here it is
Drum roll please........ For Mckayla's first semester at BYU she got a 3.4 GPA!! We are so proud of her and all of her accomplishments. She is just one awesome girl/daughter and I miss having her around the house already! Another drum roll please........ Elder Carter was made District Leader woohooo! He is doing so well, he says he finally feels like he is fluent in Spanish and is excited to be a DL. He has lots of goals planned for the coming year and is almost at his 10 month date (just 5 more days)! So those are the new things with the family, besides my parents arriving home from their mission in Ohio. It is so good to have them home. Grandpa had the kids rolling when we went to take a picture and he pulled out the peace sign, I guess he has just been around too many Elders(what is up with that anyway???),lol(see photo). Sorry about the camera shake, I guess I was laughing pretty hard too! All in all we had a great Christmas and New Year and are looking forward to a brand new year!
