Celebrations

This weekend we headed up to Orem for a full weekend of celebrations. Our drive up was a little long, Ellie had a rough time and wasn't as tired as I hoped she'd be. Friday night Brady's Mom had planned a birthday party for her mom and sister. So the whole family came over for cupcakes and pizza. It was nice to everyone and Ellie was the center of everyone's attention and she was lovin' it!

The next morning Brady, Ellie, and I headed up to Sandy to go to Ikea. We had not been since it opened and I was hoping to find some great deals. The store was huge and would be perfect if you were remodeling an entire room, but we managed to find a few things there. As we were checking out we spotted my niece Chelcie and her Dad, which was a nice surprise!

The reason for our trip came that night as we honored Brady's grandparents at their 65th Wedding Anniversary dinner. All the Flygare's were their and we had a great time hanging out with the family. We ended up leaving a little early and going out to Brady's Aunt's house for the Sims birthday party for their Grandma and Javan. Ellie enjoyed seeing all her aunts and cousins and had a great time playing with the balloons, she even got one as a souvenir.

The next morning we got up and went to church, which came far to early due to the time change. After sacrament meeting we went back and Brady's Mom made us waffles. Then we packed up and headed back to the warmth of St. George. It was a great family weekend and we enjoyed seeing and spending a little bit of time with the whole family.
