Family and Friends Arriving!

Posted by lenleatherwood on

I am sitting in the living room with Ray, daughter Liz, Jared, our Texas friend and our Utah relatives, nephew Jim and his wife, Karri. JIm’s dad has already gone to bed and so have Jim and Karri’s kids, Eli and Sophie. We are waiting up to greet my Texas niece, Leslie, and her friend, Haley, who are returning from Mexico where they attended another wedding there.

The party has begun.

We have three other nieces arriving tomorrow, plus one niece’s boyfriend, along with my brother and his girlfriend.

Lots of people, lots of laughter.

I am happy.

Happy Thanksgiving

    A houseful to be sure. How many bedrooms do you have or has everyone brought his or her sleeping bag? No, I don’t need an answer but one can’t help wondering. 😀
