An Insanely Busy, Yet Fantasticly Fun Holiday

A revolving front door would have been very handy at our house the last 2 weeks. We had Shawn & Brandy Hanson and their 4 kids with us for about 10 days, My sister Christina & her family, Zach's parents, Jessi & 4 of her kids, Vanessa & her family, and finally Michael Ashlock. Now everyone wasn't here all at once, although many of them did overlap for our Thanksgiving festivities. At our house Tuesday we celebrated turkey day a little early so Jessi could be here. We tried some new Jewish recipes, Played a few rounds of musical chairs-backwards, and a game of Sardines(backwards hide-n-go-seek). Lots of fun & laughter. In the middle of all this we had a week long mtg. with Raymond Stiner & Paul Collins-which was very good. Several of us got a cold, including Summer, but we trudged on. We went to James Traylor's new gym, 5 times over the week. (My kids are going to go thru fun withdrawals this week). And finally finished 2 weeks worth of fun. It was hard to get back to the daily grind on Monday.
During our time with family last week, the 2 new cousins got to spend some quality turkey time together. Here are Summer & Noah trying to roll, eat, and slobber on each other. Great memories:)
