Grandma Hanaike visits two Conferences in a row!!!

My mom came for a quick visit over Conference weekend again and it was so great!  It was NOT long enough and it's not fair!!!  It just teased me.  But I guess it will have to hold us over till Christmas break.  I guess the cookie mixes she left us with will do the trick for now.  Anyways we had such a fun time with her going for walks, listening to General Conference, and going to Cornbellys at Thanksgiving Point for the first time.  Mom, Mariah, and I had a girl's morning/afternoon in Salt Lake City, complete with street tacos and Temple Square goodness.   Short but sweet visit, a memorable one.  It's pretty amazing how many pictures you can take in two days!

grandma and audrey's walk, just the two of them


if anyone ever says i don't have a fat baby ill just shove this picture in their face and say "WHAT WAS THAT??"



audrey's dance party on the table

she can really bust a move.  this is a necessary trait of a hanaike.

oh how i love sitting on temple square in perfect weather feeling the spirit.  it's my ultimate happy place, in my ldsbc years as well as now.

another place i used to sit in college.  i'd walk home from school through temple square and find myself sitting for and hour or two before i finally made it all the way home.

at the church history museum with it's amazing new exhibits.  i didn't take many pictures because i was too overcome with emotion at how strong the spirit was there as i walked through the joseph smith exhibits.  my testimony grew ten fold that day.
