We had our monthly family home evening with the Whitings tonight at Grandmas. Lately it has just been us and Grandpa and Grandma because the Parish's have been sick. They were able to come tonight and Emily was so excited to finally be able to play with her cousins!
The dress Emily is wearing was made by Nicki who just turned 12 last month! Even though she is 5 1/2 yrs older than Emily, Emily is like Nicki's little shadow whenever she is around! She has always loved to be around her, maybe because she is so creative, always coming up with fun things to make, do, or act out. There is never a dull moment when Nicki is around! One time she made "play dough" out of water and flour for Emily. It was EVERYWHERE and I had to pick it out of their clothes!
She is always thinking of something new. She really is amazing how she never seems to get discouraged when something she tries doesn't work...she learns from it and tries again! I love that Emily loves her so much...she is such a great example!
It was great to be together tonight. It is funny how you always love your family but you don't realize how much until you can't be with them for a long time...we really take each other for granted! Now we just need to get the rest of my family to move back to Utah so we can have FHE with everyone! At least we are lucky to have all of the Heaps family around! (They must love us more! ha ha)

Emily looks like an angel in that dress Nikki made. We miss her adorable personality. We are still laughing about her having to get the laughs out on her interview!
