It was the prettiest thing I've ever seen. Over 1,000 people dressed as angles standing on a hill singing to the Lord.

We're in Probo, Utah to not only celebrate the Lords works and wonders that he's made for the world but to break a world record. It's going to be so cool!

My dad was obsessed with introducing me to all of the Mormon youtubers. "Elizabeth follow me." Dad instructed. "Ok." I replied. I trudged behind dad and giggled at his silly wiseman outfit that he was wearing. But he really did look like a real wiseman.

"Elizabeth meet my good friend Jarbi." Said dad putting an arm around me. "Jarbi this is my adoptive daughter Elizabeth!" Dad said proudly. "Hi I've heard a lot about you." He said. "It's nice to meet you." I said shyly while shaking his hand that he had given me. "Yeah you too." He replied after releasing.

"Thanks love, go find mom and have dinner." Dad demanded before kissing me on the cheek. "Ok." I said before leaving dads side.

I quickly found my mom and siblings who were dressed in white cloth, just as I was. We were 'cute little angels' as dad says.

We stayed warm under a tent where they served us the best food I've ever had.

There was pulled pork with buns, salad, corn on the cob, and drinks. I'll be ready to sing after all this eating.

"Elizabeth, can you help me get Brock and Emmi a plate please?" Mom begged. "Of course mom." I assured her. "Thanks." She sighed. I wanted to help as much as I could because I knew dad was off doing stuff helping other people for this shoot.

As we got closer to the food I instructed Brock and Emmi to get a plate while they told me what they wanted. They both had pretty much the same thing a small pull pork sandwich, a small piece of corn on the cob and a little bit of salad. After getting all three of our plates filled I walked over to the drink area with them and helped them get drinks. Then we found mom, Gavin, Avia and Daxton sitting at a table. "What do you guys say to Elizabeth for helping you guys?" Mom smiled. I was glad that I made her happy, by doing a favor for her. "Thank you!" They both said in unison. "Your welcome." I said before taking a bite of my sandwich. Everything tasted delicious.

Dad came by during dinner to say hi to us but had little to no time to eat because they were filming his part of the shoot right when they were serving food. "I hope those wisemen get to eat sometime." Mom said, I knew she was referring to dad mostly. And I knew she was worried about him not getting enough food to eat. "Don't worry mom. They'll get a break." Said Gavin. "You always got to trust the producers." I exclaimed, which made everyone burst into laughter. I don't know why everyone thought it was funny.

The sun started to set on the mountains which made the scenery very pretty. "Can we have all of the Angels over to the big hill please?" One of the producers asked. We got up from our spot that we choose to eat at and made our way over to the big hill. Dad was vlogging and talking and we didn't want to be a distraction to him. Even though we knew he wouldn't mind.

Over 1,000 people dressed as Angels stood in amass of each other and talked to each other until we were told to stop.
"Well there's a lot of angels here." dad
Said putting emphasis on the word a lot. "But there's my beautiful family." He added with a smile. "You guys excited?!" He asked excitedly. I loved how my dad was always so energetic. "yes!!" We screamed excitedly.

"Gloria in excelsis deo." We sang ending the song Angels We Have Heard On High. With over 1,000 voices I think God could hear us loud and clear. "Alright do you know the song Oh Come All Ye Faithful?" The producer asked. We all screamed in answer and continued to sing the song.

After about four hours of singing and imitating the Lords birth we were finally done. Not that I didn't enjoy it, I was extremely cold and tired. I was ready to head back to the hotel.

We got back into the car and headed to back to the hotel. On the way there we got ice cream and dad some dinner since he didn't have much to eat. "Can we please go swimming?" Brock asked. "Please dad?" He quickly begged. "Honey, daddy's very tired, we all are." Mom replied. Brock sighed in disappointment. "Aww come on, I'll eat quickly and then we can go, don't want to be a party pooper like your mom over here." Dad laughed. "Shay!" Mom exclaimed sarcastically. "Sorry honey, but your the one not wanting to have fun." Dad retorted. "I guess." Mom mumbled.

When we pulled up to the hotel we got out and headed up to the room. Dad finished his dinner while we finished our ice cream and got ready to go swimming. Mom stayed in the room with a sleeping Daxton while we headed to the pool with dad.

"This is going to be so fun!" Said Avia running to the pool door. "Yeah!" Brock agreed. We had the pool to ourselves. Just the way we like it. "Cannon ball!" Dad yelled making a big splash in the pool. Gavin followed right after creating more waves in the pool.

We spent over and hour and a half in the pool laughing and playing games with each other. It was a perfect thing to end our night with.

Hoped you like this long chapter!! Xox

Wishing Gavin a happy 11th birthday today!!

Love you guys
