Another Weekend Gathering

After our wonderful weekend in St. George, we zoomed home Monday afternoon just in time to get ready for a very big week.  We had so much going on! Friends coming in town with a gathering at my house, hosting a birthday party for a different dear friend, my brother and his family coming to town from Seattle for the week and having dinner at my house, going to a play in which our friend's son had a leading role, not to mention the regular stuff like tons of homework, practicing the cello, play rehearsal, dinner dishes....oi.  It was a big week.  But such a fun one.  So Adam and Whit came down with their family because their little gal turned 8 and she was going to be baptized. They wanted to have family there so instead of us all traveling these they came here.  It was so nice of them to drive down - it's such a rough drive.   So not only did get we to have dinner together during the week, we had Peter and Sheri come up here Friday evening to stay with us and we all got together for the baptism.  We gathered at a church in Kamas, Utah close to where Whitley's family lives.  And though we were only together for a few hours it was just heavenly.  As always, I absolutely adore being with my siblings.

I love any chance to get these boy cousins together

Aunty Margaret with all her nieces - a true love story right there

And Aunty with her Nephews. Being an aunty is the best, and having one is even better.

We did a little sibling photo shoot - this one just makes me kind of happy.

And here are some other very silly ones:

And more grandkid/cousin shoots at a grill where we met after lunch for really tasty salads and burgers.

The weekend flew by way too quickly but I loved every minute of it.  Hopefully it isn't too long before we all see each other again.
