Best Week Ever!

Monday I was at the salon waiting for my 12:00 appointment...A new client, that was my mom's "neighbor"' I was standing up front with my back to the door.. I turned around to see my SISTER.. who is supposed to be in New Zealand walking in the door with my two nephews!! I didn't know what to do or say.. I just kept saying over and over.."what are you doing?" She is back!! FOR GOOD!! YEA!! I cried and laughed and cried and was so excited. Her and my mom had planned this whole little suprise. This was a great day. I am still in shock that she is here. This was only to be followed by another great day. Erik coming home from his mission! We all went to the airport to meet him. It was great to see him. He has gotten so tall and seems a little older, but other than that he is the same funny Erik!! Then on Saturday, Claire was baptized. We were lucky to be able to have a family baptisim. It was so neat to see so many family members and friends come to support her. I know what a neat and special girl she is, but to have so many people show up to support her made me a little teary. We had a big family dinner at Bajio (one of her favorite places) it was great! She looked so pretty. I loved her dress. Levi and Claire went shopping for it a week earlier. Erik also had his homecoming on Sunday. We had another family dinner at my moms. It was the first time in along time we had almost all been together. It has been a great week!!!
