On April 13th (just a couple of days before she left) we had a really fun open house for Briaunna.

A lot of friends and family came to see Briaunna and sent her off with a hug and support

 

We got a great four generation picture!

Great Grandma Hale served a mission when she was Briaunna's age!

We had good Floribbean Cuisine (that's a real term)

Cuban beans and rice, Hearts of palm salad, chips and Aunt Janae's artichoke dip.

Mike made mini churro cheesecakes and Grandma made lime bite cookies.

We washed it all down with Aunt Janae's orange guava sherbert punch!

 

When we got home, the Young Women in our ward had heart-attacked Briaunna.

Wonderful words of love and support!
