Thanksgiving was great this year. Heather and Jared and the kids came up and stayed at Jonathan and Nicole's new house. They had not seen it before, so they wanted to stay there and help out with the dinner. Heather brought her turkey roaster and did the turkey and the gravy - it was really good. Nicole did much of the other cooking. Cherry made a couple of pumpkin pies. While the food was cooking, the men and children goofed off and played. A good time was had by all. It was wonderful to have our whole family together. There was a great deal of love as we gathered together on this day of thanksgiving.
In all of the festivities, we thought also about Chris and how much we appreciated and loved him during the short time that he was with us.
Friday, Jonathan, Jared and their families spent a day of shopping, playing, and enjoying each other. The boys took the kids to the air and space museum out at Dulles airport where they all had a great time.
Cherry and I had to work in the mission office. We had fourteen new missionaries arrive in two waves Wednesday and Thursday.
In the evening, we all got together again and went to Logan's Roadhouse for dinner.
