My new family!

After mom and I went to Disneyland we went to Gilbert Az. We went to see Kathy and meet my new family. When we got there we went to Kathy's and met my sweet grandma Janet. She is such a sweet spirit and just so amazing. My uncle Carl and Aunt Amy came over for dinner. We just sat and talked and got to know each other. They are an amazing couple, so sweet and welcoming. Alexis, James and Janelle came over. My princess didn't want anything to do with me until I gave her some ice. Then we were good. Saturday mom went to the temple and I went with Kathy and Alexis to the airport to get Aunt Kathi. We then went back to the house and picked up mom and then went to Costco to get food for Sunday. We then went to Uncle Carl, and Aunt Amys house. They had make us some AMAZING ribs, potato salad and beans. They were some of the best ribs I had ever had. Some of the family came to this family BBQ. Aunt Inger and Uncle Ben with their 3 kids, Holly, Julie, and Zane. Uncle Ray. Aunt Kathi. and then Alexis showed up with a bunch of friends. It was fun to get to know my new family with good food. Sunday we got up early, went to sacerment meeting. We then drove 45 miles to see grandpa Johansson's grave. After we went back to the house, took naps, and then the party began. we had an open house, and we partied like it was 1999. All the family came again, and more friends. It was great to meet all of Kathy's friends. Holly and Julie were so sweet and made mom and I G-free cupcakes. They were really good. It as nice to meet my family. I am so greatful that my new family was so welcoming to my mom as well. They didn't seem like new people in my life. They felt like we knew them forever. I am grateful to call them all my family.
