(Yes - one of my favorite people who cut her knee
the week of SOM opening night with a box knife.
Ouch! She was building sets and....
She got 3 stitches but made it through the rest of the week,
all of the performances, and even girls camp.
AND she has an awesome scar as a souvenir.)
Some OTHER favorite people...
Jeff entertained their taste buds with his now famous
"cheese tasting" that is quickly becoming a tradition.
Shauna & Daren and ALL of their kids (including Andrew, fresh from
his mission!) are here from Denver
and we leave today for a WEEK at our favorite spot in Crystal Lake!
It has been so fun watching the "big girl" cousins
reconnect...jamming on their ukuleles, solving rubix cubes,
and, of course, lots of giggling.
These 3 little ruffians have been partners in crime -
spying on the big kids and nerf wars in the front yard.
Oh yeah - and Ian loves that he has a willing audience to laugh
at his silly voices and weird faces.
And I'm sure Erin & Ben are thrilled that he taught Braeden & Cole
that Sprite is really called "Burp Juice".
More favorite people...
Collin (and Kristen) want a Bey Blade arena for Christmas. Hee hee.
...Smiles courtesy of Erin's chocolate trifle that we finished off
AND a homemade custard pie. YUM!
Sunday night, Shauna put together a Family Home Evening so that
Andrew could share mission stories & his testimony.
Collin & Kristen shared their testimonies of temple marriage.
It was a memorable moment for all of us
and I felt so blessed to be a part of this amazing family.
These are the simple joys that family brings
and we all commented on how we missed having Suzy & Mark, Mel & Jeff,
and Ryan & Gretchen's family there with us.
We are SO looking forward to the next Family Reunion - Summer 2013!
The girls played/sang the opening song,
"Families Can Be Together Forever".
Enjoy!!
