We had a delightful (but typically noisy) Thanksgiving at
our house this year with four of our six kids - and about half of our grandchildren and two of our greats - home for the holiday.
Kris came from Santa Rosa, CA with Erin for hugs and turkey dinner.
David and Jan’L, and their three boys, came
home from Denver for Thanksgiving for the first time in many years.
Kelly and Gary, from Ogden, were here, too, stopping over
on their way to California where they had generously offered to travel to help clean and sort at Grandma Doris' home in Corona.
Allysa and Josh came by with their two boys
as did Taisley (although Stacy and Rick were not there because we celebrated on
Wednesday, in anticipation of our travel to Southern California and Stacy had a
medical procedure scheduled that day).
Selwin and Simeon Lovell, our twins from Guyana, brought the grand total of those around our dinner table to 17 ½ (the half was
little Benny who enjoyed a few spoonfuls of potatoes and gravy).
Grandma cooked and cleaned up from 6 a.m. to well past 10
p.m. while Grandpa rounded up all the kids for a “mystery trip” to Snow Canyon and the scout
cave on the Sugarloaf! All in all, it
was a very fun day! The only thing which
would have made the day better would have been to have Michael, Lilly, Kaytee,
Josh, Adyn and Skylar here, too!!! Maybe
next year.
