Tess at Adam's baptism the night before she left Katowice.
 "Welcome Home Tess. We love you!"
 Polish flag at the ready!
 Here they come: Sister LeFevre, Sister Brown and Sister Helfrich.
 Tess was darling and pretty perky for being up all day and all night.
Where are her little brothers? Clark was her same height when she left.
 Sister Brown and Sister Helfrich.
 Sister Brown and Sister Lefevre -- they were companions in the MTC, in Poland and now they are going to be roommates at BYU. Lifelong friends for sure.
 Tess with my sister Melinda -- our two Polish Sister Missionaries.
Madeleine and Tess -- the two "real" sisters.
The whole family finally together again!
 Heading to the car.
 Elliot letting out a bit of his excitement in the airport parking lot!
 Phillip, Tess and Loren -- our three missionaries together for the first time in 5 years.
 Sitting around eating cornbread muffins and a midnight bowl of cereal.
All the temple circles filled in. Each color represents a different area of her mission starting with the MTC. The green chain in her hand is the last of the 100 link chain we made back in September counting down the days until she would come home. It has a copy of her name tag attached to it -- the chain spent the last 30 days on our Christmas tree.
 The happy parents.
 The next day Melinda came over with her family to spend a couple of hours with Tess. Tess brought her a few gifts from Poland.
 She also brought a few things back for herself and for us.
 She had a hard time choosing a few eggs -- I think she did a great job!
