After missing Christmas in Canada, we were determined not to miss Eric's baptism! It was snowy, covid tests were near impossible to find, Kya was already back in Idaho, and Jordan had school. But the rest of us made it up there...and I am so glad we did. It was a special weekend, and I truly treasure any time with family (especially since it's harder to come by these days).
I got to see my Dad's headstone (finally). The gravesite was so serene and beautiful covered in snow. I imagine the cemeteries in Finland would look similar. I feel like I can't go to Canada now without visiting my Dad...even if it is just his grave. I still miss him so much.
It's so nice that I was able to see all 3 of my sisters. I really love these ladies and wish I could spend more time with them!
We got to stay at Mom's house. We all love visiting with mom, and her house really still feels like home to me. Summer loves that Grandma lets her have anything at her house that she says she likes haha.
And most importantly we got to celebrate Eric! So exciting that he got to be baptized on his 8th birthday. We absolutely love that boy, and are so grateful that Summer has a cousin her age to play with. I hope they are this close forever:)
