Sunday brought a new change for us. We got called into the Stake President's office last Sunday. Dan got called to be the Stake Executive Secretary. The Stake President, who is also our neighbor, said that his name just kept popping up in his head. He was the man for the job. So this last Sunday, they released him from being 2nd counselor in the bishopric, much to several people's surprise since he had only been in there for 9 months, and called him into the Stake Executive Secretary calling. He is a bit overwhelmed right now learning the ropes, but he will be good! Makayla would not let go of him when he came off the stand to sit by us. The kids will love having dad to sit by us now, or for this year at least since we are 11-2. A past bishop in our ward reminded Dan when he got called in, that Levi was crying as he walked up to the stand. He was reminded of his own son when he got called in to be bishop and what a tender moment that was to see Levi. He was glad that he would be able to sit back with us. It definitely is a family calling when those men take the stand! We will also probably get him home a little more during the week, he may just have to make a million phone calls every week! He will miss the guys he worked with, our bishop is great! The Lord wants you where he wants you. That is something we learn often! We are definitely NOT in charge! So off to that new adventure!
Monday we had the Burkholder family party. I was not feeling well so we skipped out on the sledding before hand. Dan had to work so we didn't make it till dinner at 5. The weather was poor and some of the family had to leave early, so it was a short but sweet get together! The kids always love to see their cousins! They ran around crazy and we ate yummy food! Bada spoiled them as always with the cutest books. I always love coming home with such fun books to add to our collection. The kids read for days after! I didn't get many pictures since my camera was in the car and it was all done before I finished eating! Thanks to Makayla it takes me awhile:)
I found out that the kids were running from the cameras once I pulled mine out. So I did my best! This was the best I got of Zack... They have too much fun with all their cousins!
Kate was the only one who wanted her picture taken!
The inseparable Adelaide and Levi!
Lincoln would only give me his silly face...if I was quick!
Doggy pile on uncle Adriel. He always asks for it!
Since we barely made it up the driveway on the way there, we took off around 7 to get home. They needed up closing sections of I-15 since the wind got so strong blowing the snow over the freeway. We beat the worst of it home. Welcome to winter!
