Dinner was tasty as usual! Unfortunately, we gobbled that turkey right up so there were no leftovers!

Talking to Jeff and wishing him a Happy Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful day!

Now That's What I Call a Party!

My Mother-in-law just celebrated her 80th Birthday this past week. Her children and spouses organized and planned everything so she could celebrate in style with 80 of her closest friends (80 were invited, though about 60 came). It was great to see the fun they all were having as they reminisced about the "good old days"! I put together a slide show of her life, with the help of a friend, and she loved it. It was well worth it and I'm so glad we were able to do it for her as,
you only turn 80 once!

The Birthday Girl! I hope I can look as great as she does at 80!

The Boys Are Back in Town

Jordan and Taylor drove up to Washington from Provo to visit for a few days. I hadn't seen Jordan for almost a year! It was a sweet reunion! Derrek came home from Seattle to hang out too! 

Mama loves her boys♥

Papa made Jordan a pancake

Josh and Jordan hung out and wrote a new song

I took Jordan out for lunch at an authentic Filipino Restaurant. Mama thought it was nasty, but Jordan had a great time!

We all sat around the table to discuss the issues to vote on

Olive Garden! Yummers!

A rousing game of Yahtzee!

Derrek is the master of strategy!

Come on Yahtzee!
