And he's off to...

Jamaica, mon!

My youngest brother, Ryan, went into the MTC today to begin serving a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints! He'll be serving in the Jamaica, Kingston Mission for two years. We will miss him (especially Zac), but we are so proud of him and excited for his new adventures. We spent the weekend with my family in St. George so we could be there for his farewell on Sunday. He gave one of the best missionary farewell talks I've heard...I know he's ready and will be a great missionary!

Since we were all there together, we celebrated Christmas a little early.

Kayden's first time opening a present--he found the best way he could think of to open it--with his teeth, of course!

Zac opening his custom-wrapped gift from Autumn.

We all had a great time together, as usual. Even though we won't all be together on Christmas day, it was great to spend some of the holiday season with the family. We love you all!
