On Thursday, July 31st we drove to Logan, Utah - for a mini family reunion - Derrell and LaNore and Sterling came from Anchorage for her 50th years reunion from high school - Sue and John came from CO.
This was also our annual 'sisters weekend' - with lots of other things 'thrown in!'
Sterling is Derrell and LaNore's only granddaughter - she is seven, will be eight the 9th of November. Sue brought this Madame Alexander doll - Beth from Little Women for her.
Here are all the 'old people' at the Mongolian Grill for dinner - good food and greater company! Derrell said it was an upgrade from the Mongolian grill in Anchorage - where you have to leave your dog in your car!
After dinner we went to the Logan Temple for an endowment session - we all had 'family names' from one of our cousins who is doing lots of family history work. Terrific evening to be in the House of the Lord with some of the people we love most in this world.
After the temple it was back to Becky and Ken's house for birthday cheesecake to celebrate the summer birthdays, Sue, Derrell and Dianne, LaNore - very good! Derrell said it has been a long time since we opened birthday presents together!
Just talking around the table - so much fun to listen to fun experiences and laugh at stories and just be together! Sure hope next time Craig and Colleen, Brad and DeAnn can join us. Craig called while we were talking around the table and we put the phone on Speaker Phone and all talked to him. He is working at the Payson WalMart in the sporting goods dept.
