Halloween 2019

It snowed on Halloween this year - barely stuck to the ground, but still too cold for an outdoor party. So the Branch met in the basement of the Hopkin's dental office. A few extra friends came to play with us too. Such a great time. And it got even better the next night when we went trick-or-treating with the Barnes' in their cute, cute neighborhood in Maize. They have the most festive neighbors and spooky houses we've ever seen!

Fall Camporee / Girls' Weekend

These cute boys had a Scout Campout last weekend and FINALLY...Reed was old enough to go! It was such a joy watching them prepare and depart, ALL TOGETHER. Togetherness is such a gift. It is strength! It brings so much joy. Kinda solidifies the concept (for me) that heaven and eternity won't mean much without togetherness. Neither does this life, for that matter. Anyway, we girls who got left behind decided to have a little togetherness of our own, and we got some very happy memories out of it...Southwest Fun Night, Sleeping Beauty sleepover (in mom's bed), and shopping til we dropped (at the mall, no less). When it comes to these people, whether it's work or play, I love TOGETHER!
