Big Day for Brandon





Sunday Dec 9th Brandon was ordained a Deacon by his father. We weren't sure if Grandma and Grandpa would be able to make it with the snow but we were grateful that it cleared up and they made it! It was very special and we were all very proud of Brandon. I cant believe he has grown up so much and now has this great opprotunity to serve our ward members. Afterwards, Todd's folks came over for dinner. It was great to share this day with them and also to hear more about their mission. They gave him a very special gift which was a copy of the Ellis family crest that will remind him of our family unity and he will have it for his own family someday. Thinking of how the time has passed that doesn't seem so far away!!

Yesterday (Dec 16) he passed and he did a great job. I told him he has to make sure that we are not late to church now. He said that he felt the spirit when he was doing it. Such a great boy!

Can you believe it??! Where has the time gone? Tell Brandon I'm proud of him...it's so wonderful and yet so bittersweet to see the boys growing up!

Here we are at the visitors center. Todd and Christen actually climbed pretty far up the dunes. We had fun playing in Medano Creek after we climbed.
