Ramblings

I still need to post some pictures from my trip to Wyoming for the month of November. I am a procrastinator! Anyway - as I said before, I had a great time, the girls loved Grandma Flash (my mom) and had tons tons tons of fun playing with all their cousins and meeting lots of family again.

Thanksgiving was a real treat. We had everyone home except for Logan and two of my nephews who are serving missions (Lane and Lucas). That means with all of my siblings, their kids and grandkids, and a few extra bonus guests we had 70 people for dinner! Wowza! that number still blows me away. We knew we could not all fit into anyone's house with everyone there, so we had it at the Church Gym. In Lovell, we have the Stake Center, and then the Church Gym across the street. It kind of felt like a ward dinner, not having it at a home and having SO MANY people there.

We all had a great time, a scrabble and Boggle tournamnet, Trivial Pursuit, Volleyball games, and the big boys had a full court basket ball game too. What a fun and full day.

At my mom's house (she recently moved to Cowley, WY to a house considerably smaller than the house I grew up in) we had 25 people and three dogs staying over. It was so much fun! I hope a holiday like that happens again.

There are a lot more happenings than that that went on, but I will bore you no longer. Here are a few pictures of our time there. Grace had lots of fun with my niece Betsy's little girl, Maren, and Libby learned to pull herself up to furniture while we were there. I will post a big family picture when we get it from the photographer (check out her website... http://megangrantphotography.blogspot.com/).
