My other siblings came the day after christmas. It was my parents, my siblings and their kids for the first and last time in years. After this i have nieces and nephews going on missions, as well as mom and dad leaving again. it was 41 of us and there was always something to do.
Mom and Pappy had a fireside where they shares their mission experiences. That was a great chance to hear their stories and for them to express the love of the people.
Mom brought back a ton of african beads. after the fireside my nieces Hollie and Malia put them ALL on my nephew Brandon.
We went to this place in Portland called Fire on the Mountain where they make wings with the sauce you choose. Brad was in heaven. Afterwards we went to Papa Haydens which has dessert to DIE for!
New Years eve we had the best party ever. We made New Year's eve hats and it was fun to watch what everyone did with theirs. We also set all the clocks ahead so the kiddos think they are staying up until midnight. keri and Larry had just put in this amazing surround sound system downstairs. My brother Craig was the DJ and we had a great time dancing for alteast an hour. it was so much fun! Those kiddos have some great moves too!

Too bad we don't live close so our girls can be friends. I'm glad your whole family got to be together--sounds like a party! (Kind of sounds like the family on My Big Fat Greek Wedding--crazy and fun!)
