Return of the "Elder" (this is not a Halloween post)

You know your family is cool when.....


They pick you up from the airport like this.

We picked up Kevin's youngest brother, Mikey, on Thursday, Oct. 27 after serving for 2 years as a missionary in the OK Oklahoma City Mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We wanted to make it memorable. How did we do?


Reed did awesome! Bribing him with candy to keep his Yoda ears on helped too.


Shoulda been our engagement photo...


Kevin's sister, Whitney, converted their umbrella stroller into R2D2. How cool is that?


At home pictures were more successful. Yes, this is success.


Cutest baby Ewok I ever did see.


The whole family. We had a lot of people stop to take pictures of us, especially Kevin as Darth Vader. We only rented the costumes but Kevin is now thinking of keeping a fund for a Darth Vader suit. You never know when you'll need one again, right? WELCOME HOME MIKEY!

I can't believe you rented costumes for it- that is the best!!!
I remember when he was leaving on his mission- that's crazy that we've been friends longer than a mission- I love it!

I totally saw you in the airport as we were going back to Houston and I was going to go talk, but he came out as I was getting my bags checked, so we missed you. Totally thought it was great though!
