So, now that it's a week later, I get to finally sit down and blog about our holiday. It's been laundry and cleaning (including a filthy van) the past view days, so I haven't been able to do it sooner. Anyway, last Tuesday, despite me having a terrible cold, we decided to drive halfway to Utah. We got a motel in Winnemucca and stayed the night. It was nice breaking up the trip, since the kids got so restless-even with the portable DVD player. We got to Salt Lake on Wed. evening and were very tired and sick. Johnny and Amanda and their girls were very welcoming and gave us a very comfortable place to stay. Thanks!!! We did go to Aunt Serena's 40th birthday party over at Grandma's. Didn't get any pictures there-I don't know why??? Maybe because we were so tired and hungry. Thursday we decided to relax and just went to Tami and Dan's so the kids could play. We did get some cute pictures of them together. Thursday night we went over to John and April's for clam chowder and homemade bread. Yum! Friday we did our Thanksgiving dinner at the church with all the Shirley clan. Michele (my cousin) did a fun music class for the kids that was really cute. We also blessed our beautiful baby Sylvia Rose. It was so nice to have all the men standing in the circle to bless our baby. She is a special little one and we are so grateful to have her. The dinner was a colaborative effort and it was delicious. Saturday we went down to Lehi and Alpine to see the Jessop's and Cole's. It was fun to see everyone again. Sunday we finally made the long trek home. The kids were good in the car and we were glad to make it home safely.
Callie do you have the family pictures we took at the Jessop's and Cole's? Maryam-did you get any cute ones of the kids? If so, could you guys send me some? email is nicolerh1975@yahoo.com
