Sister Holliday is back!!

Well Anne is home! we are all very excited. She, of course, has very mixed feelings. We borrowed a friends 15 man van, so we could all drive down together. We knew there would be a fight of who got to ride with Anne on the way home. This 15 man van was SOO fun. we fit perfectly. Everyone got to go pick her up, everyone except Josh who had taken a whole week of work off the week before so he didn't think he could take another day off. plus then we wouln't all fit in the van.
Here is just half the van:
Fun huh!?
The owners of the van didn't allow any food to be eaten in the van so once we got to the airport we ate donuts, crackers and grapes, for breakfast.
Quite a group: Waiting so paitently for Anne to come down, who was procrastinating coming down to us. -how rude-
AND HERE SHE IS!
Everyone was so excited to see her!!
Brock got to meet her for the first time!
Same with Addee! Their first time meeting:
This is the companion she got to come home with. she doesn't really live here but she has some siblings here. So she will be in Logan area for a couple months with her family on a little vacation!
We are so happy to have her home. Its just to bad she will be going to BUYI in the Fall, so we only have 2 months with her!

  2. That's so fun that she got home. Did you hear the story about how Jace, Cherise, and Mikayla? If not you need to ask Mikayla about that.

  4. I know just how Annie felt. I wanted to turn around on get back on the plane. It was harder coming home than it was to leave. For 18 months it was arms length for everyone, and then there was all these people who wanted to hug me. Plus my heart was in Ireland. That was a smart move on your part to have a van that fit everyone so all could be with Annie. The pictures are great. Love all of you. Aunt Colleen
