Oh, the Van Gass family. They are spunky, energetic, creative, travel buffs, full of surprises, and will keep you laughing regardless of your life’s circumstances. I’ve been amazed at the endeavors they have taken over the past few years! Just to name a few… they are active members of the fair board/committee, designed and built a barndo,  participated in the Utah Pinners Conference- as well as countless other craft markets and events, and are active in their own community, all while raising a house full of cute kiddos and running and growing their small business from home. If you’re curious about what this business of hers looks like, let me give you just a quick overview. Liberti personally designs, assembles, and sells one-of-a-kind felt garlands, and other fun felt decorative pieces. If you still can’t quite wrap your head around this, head over to Loaly and check out her cute creations. You’d be amazed at what one can do with felt when you have a brain like Liberti’s!  Then there is LeGrand.

I really don’t know how to truly introduce you to LeGrand. I just can’t seem to find the words, but I get to sit in the corner each Sunday and watch as he walks into the Primary room. He’s a teacher of at least five kids ages 6-7 years old. You’d think that’d be a challenge, I’m pretty sure LeGrand finds it to be an exciting adventure. The kids enjoy his lessons- I know because one of those kids happens to be mine… 

This family has no fear, they have a way of going with the flow of change, and trying new things in ways that I would crawl into a hole and die before I’d try! They are quite the crew. I’m grateful I’ve been able to get to know them, to be their neighbor-even for a short time, and enjoy their sweet treats- thank you Lytzi! ;), and a fantastic Masala recipe- thank you Liberti!

Thank you Van Gass family for bringing a little spunk, adventure, and variety to our neighborhood! I’m grateful to have been able to hang out in the snow with this crew even for a short moment in time! I hope that every future adventure you embark on becomes your favorite! 🙂
