Frost Family Faces

It's official, Chad's a Missionary! The last Gough is on his mission! We are going to miss him...a lot, but not nearly as much as the grandkids. They LOVE Uncle Chad!

We wanted one last activity with Uncle Chad before we left so the whole family met at the temple on Monday to look at the lights. It was cold, but fun!

Look at these cute little bundled kids!


Ella ran to Chad yelling "CHAD!" when he walked up and immediately started pointing the lights out to him...

and some of the other grandkids watching the Nativity...


Of course they have to go up and down the stairs when they go to the temple. The kids love it!

Ella is trying to entertain baby Derek...and showing off her mittens!


Of course there were tons of leaves on the ground, and the kids couldn't resist running and jumping in them and throwing them at each other.

Chad! CHEESE!


We stopped at the visitor's center to get warm and I took the opportunity to get one last picture with Uncle Chad!

And here's Mya...

and Emma...(she didn't want to sit still for a picture.

Tuesday night, we all gathered at the Stake Pres. house to see him set apart as a missionary. It was a wonderful experience! His blessing was wonderful!


It's official! I'm a missionary! YIKES!

And then we went back to my mom's house for some pie (there's still a ton left from Thanksgiving) and said one last good-bye...





HUGS!!


Chad will be a wonderful missionary! We will miss him. It's going to be strange going over to my mom's house and knowing he won't be there for a couple of years, but we all know he's doing the right thing!
My mom and dad took him to the MTC the next morning on Wednesday the 1st.
We love you Chad. Good luck!
