Thanksgiving this year was more our Christmas since we had
22 family members around the dinner table.
Kris came from Sonoma, CA with daughter Tylre and grandson Memo …
and surprised us, too, with a visit from Erin.
What a treat to have them here.
Kelly and Gary came from Ogden, in part to bring some of their catering
supplies down for the wedding.
During
the day, Stacy, Rick, Danielle, Kendi and Taisley came to share our turkey,
mashed potatoes and gravy … and although they didn’t eat with us, Allysa, Josh,
Daxton and Bentley were here, too.
Of
course, we also had Selwin, Brianna and Simeon.
It was what Thanksgiving should be … noisy and fun with lots of chatter,
game playing and sharing the joy of being together as family!
On Friday, we had hoped to celebrate Gary’s 60
th
birthday, which was actually on Saturday, but because November 26
th
was Selwin and Brianna’s wedding day, we wanted to do something special for
him.
He and Kelly decided to drive into
town to buy him something he mentioned he wanted.
About 20 minutes after they drove out of our
driveway, she called to say they had been in an accident in which their car had
been totaled! Luckily they weren’t injured.
Still their lovely new Subaru is damaged – likely beyond repair – on
what was supposed to be a happy weekend with family here in St. George.
