Thanksgiving 2008

The Friday after Thanksgiving is always designated Terry Thanksgiving Day... and this year was no different... only we had more come this year than any in the past that I remember. We were blessed to have 72 descendants of Vaughn and Peggy together(plus a couple extra who joined us) to celebrate and missed the other 14 who could not make it due to illness or other commitments. It was a great time with more food than we could all eat and so many people that I missed out saying hello to some and getting to find out how life is going for them. I would only change one thing... have the party last a little longer.

Here are a few pic's... I think I stole them all off Alisha's blog. Thanks... and so good to have you and Emma with us!!

10 years

I remember ten years ago dad wanting to get the family together on Thanksgiving Day and no one giving in to help him with his desire. I still remember mom coming downstairs to wake me up early saying the hospital had called and we needed to get there quick. We didnt get there quick enough as dad had already passed away by the time we got there. Phone calls were made and even though it took a good portion of the day to accomplish it... dad got his wish ~those of us in Utah together for Thanksgiving... even if it was sitting in a hospital room rather than around a dinner table. We miss you dad! And yes, we still try to get together.

Cha... no camera

We had yet another sisters outing
only this time we were minus two
sisters with Denise too far away
and Kathee out with the flu bug.
I cant believe I forgot to bring my
camera, so I took this with my cell
phone. I was going to take pic's
of our plates of food, but we had
eaten all of it before I thought of
that. We ate at Boston's in
Layton. The food wasnt too bad
but a little pricey for my taste buds.
I so love getting away and spending some extra time just as
sisters. Thank you guys!

Absolute awe

Three of the most AMAZING women I know!
Julie, Stephanie and Lori.
I stand in awe.

Super Saturday is come and gone

Since Relief Society is my life these days I thought I should post
some pictures taken at Super Saturday. Lori and Misty did an
amazing job planning for this HUGE activity! It was incredibly
supported and those who came got to enjoy many crafts,
sharing stations, quilting, classes, yummy food,door prizes and
even a FREE wonderful half hour massage!
The lady in the last picture with me is 100 yrs old and she even
took advantage of the massage.
All in all I would say the day was a great hit!
Thank you Lori and Misty!!
