What a day....

Bright and early this morning our women's bible group headed over to Michelle's house. We were surprising her family by each one of us picking a child's name and getting them an early Christmas gift! We really missed having you there Laura, I hope your are resting and getting better! This blog is for you Laura... we ( the ladies of the bible study) met at the albertsons in PO, then we all followed to Michelle's, and were they surprised!!!!

When we got there we all gathered around in the living room and sang some Christmas carols....
There's sweet Michelle with 4 of the Trig kids....
Here's a little video of the singing.... not the same with out you Laura- but you know that...
Another lady came over with these HUGE gift bags for each of the kids, from our church family...
Look how happy Alex is! He could fit inside that gift bag!!!
Beriah and her gifts....
Iana and her gift bag, these were some pretty excited surprised kids...
Even Austin couldn't contain his smile...

All of us women knew Michelle's favorite color was red, so we each got something red and it was put together in this awesome gift basket, she was happy, too, she said a couple of times "you must really know me!".The kids got all new bedding, sheets, pillows, comforters, super soft blankets and new jammies. Alex was so happy he was almost to tears, he was loving this underwater pillow!So later today, we also celebrated Julia's 15th birthday!!! I remember her way back when she was just... 14.... here she is opening her present...

We asked Julia what she wanted for her birthday and she said clothes, and her favorite color is blue.... soooo

Watch our people this is what 15 looks like! I asked Julia what it felt like to be 15 and she said "I've waited my whole life to be 15!!!" She's so adorable!And check out these awesome boots the Smith family got Julia, she was loving these boots and they looked great on her!

Now we are home and resting.

Have a great night!

Katie...words cannot describe the joy in seeing those pictures. It made me miss my Trigs even more than I do already. I'm so sorry I missed such a great thing but was God glorified or what?!?!? So cool! I'm so glad you guys delivered so much joy to their house! Love you and miss you!!
