Days Gone By:

We enjoyed visiting family at the Hebdon family reunion.
We played games...

The men branded a "slice" of wood, using Keith's brand and slices of a tree that had been chopped down out of their yard. The brand is Lightening Lazy H.

Some made snake ties. They were so cute.

The women's craft was putting vinyl lettering onto a box, which read; "Your future is as bright as your faith", a quote by Pres. Monson. We put together a puzzle, learned about some of our ancestors, and enjoyed being together.

Each family took turns cooking and cleaning...

We ate...

We took pictures.

And played in the snow.
I didn't get very good photos this year. It was a busy time for me since we were in charge of things. We hope to share photos, so that everyone will end up with much more than they were able to get themselves. We love family and are so grateful for this opportunity to gather together and enjoy each other's company.

We came home and put things away as much as possible, loaded up again, and traveled to Rexburg Idaho, where we left Chase to attend a semester of college before his mission. We spent the night with Sherri and Bryan, took one day getting Chase settled, went to see Lisa and Skyler's home and headed for home. We love family and are so happy to have so many loving family members there to help Chase when he needs it. We are excited for his experiences this year.

Connor, BrittanyJo and Anthony stayed home so that they could start school Monday. It was such a quick trip that they only felt bad that they would miss lunch at Craigo's. :) It's good pizza! It's strange to think we only have 3 kids at home now. Connor and BJo are off to games tonight, so there is only one right now, and it is strange, but not bad. We will adjust! We always do! How well is what's debate-able.

We missed Terry's doctor appointment Monday, but will have it Wednesday instead. More to come...
