The Lilly's

Warning: There's a whole lotta huggin' goin' on in this here post!

Last week we got to do something completely awesome... welcome home my nephew, Andrew from his two year mission to Brazil. The anticipation was agonizing in this picture, as everyone's eyes were glued to the top of the escalator waiting for Andrew to come round the corner.

Finally!!

Missionary homecoming rules: Mom gets the first hug. My brother couldn't hold back another second, understandably!

Family hug! Elizabeth, the youngest is in there somewhere...

Together again!!

Grandma's hug. My parents came all the way from California to be there. I love the look on my dad's face that says, "I'm so happy, I wanna cry but I'm trying not to..."

Grandpa's hug.

Last but not least, the awkward Lilly family. (Alex wasn't sure what to make of all the hoopla. He went into his, "I'm not sure how to act so I'll act like a baby koala" mode.  It was so fun to have Andrew come home, can't wait till December for our next nephew to come home!
