In November we celebrated Adam's 18th.
Got to spend a little time with Chelsey and Easton.
In preparation for our Italian to come home we had lunch
at Brio and were served by the lovely and talented
Sorella Taylor!
And we froze our tails off at a few wet and cold
BYU football games!
At least someone is having fun!!!
We also attended a fun wedding reception
complete with typewriting poet
who penned a poem for the return of Miss Paige.
And Courtney posed with Audrey and Griff.
More on them to come.
Thanksgiving happened.
And we made and ate pies.
Then the day we had been waiting 18 months for - finally came!
Paige was on her way! She was so lucky to stop in Dallas
and see the Caplin clan!
Then on to Salt Lake City.
And we were a little bit excited!
Lots of people came to the airport.
And we smiled a lot.
A whole lot!
And then she arrived!
Welcome Home Sorella!
Well done.
The next day we went to Temple Square to find Italians!
Then came more reunions
Sorella Smedley
Sorella Taylor-Waldo
Danielle
Adam
High School Friends!
Nathan and Brenn (the cool newlyweds with the poet)
Griff and Audrey (newly engaged artistic photographers)
Courtney
Thaddeus, Paige, Mackenzie, Tanner
All this fun was associated with Paige's homecoming!
Then we had to start thinking about Christmas.
So we had our friend Griff (the talented photographer)
take our family pictures for a Christmas card.
This is the one we used.
But this may be my favorite picture of all time.
Then we got a tree.
And had a family party.
And were silly on Christmas Eve.
And then it was Christmas and we were all together again!
After Christmas there was an epic reunion
with Sorella Beus from the MTC and the Italy Milan Mission.
Then all of a sudden
it was 2014!
Happy New Year!
