Birthday weekend

Kathryn is amazing.  She put together a perfect birthday weekend!  We had a jam packed birthday dinner on Sunday with the Hawkers, Kevin, and Devin.  In all, 11 people packed around our table, with Ashley off to the side.  I don’t think it’s quite a record, but it’s very close.  (Tim took the great panorama picture and Ashley was still sleeping.)  Thanks to everyone for coming to celebrate with us, and for the gifts!

On Monday, Kathryn had her TSO Christmas concert.  Nathan Osmond was their guest performer.  Kathryn did an amazing job and I was so proud of her!  She really is an amazing girl!

Thanksgiving 2014

We had a great Thanksgiving with my family.  We had our whole family together, along with Grandma and Grandpa.   We had fabulous food and lots of delicious pies.  We didn’t have any eating competitions this years like in those two years once upon a time.  An eating competition is a sure way to take the fun out of Thanksgiving afternoon 🙂

One of my favorite traditions is the Thanksgiving shootout.  Ashley got to come along this year and she thought the truck ride down there was the best thing ever to get to ride not only in the face forward, but in the front seat helping me drive!

There was lots of fun cousin time too.  That’s one of the best parts of these family get togethers now.

We celebrated Mom’s birthday.  I guess the candle means she is 1 year older 🙂
