My siblings dont get together very often. It’s been a few years since our last reunion. Last Christmas when we went to Mexico and met up with Mike and his family, Mike and Avram decided that we had to celebrate a thanksgiving dinner before he left on his mission. So this summer I started contacting everyone to see if by some miracle they would actually come for an early thanksgiving celebration. We ended up having everyone, except Stacie, come for the weekend.
Friday morning we started early with a delicious breakfast at the house. We had sourdough waffles.
The weather changed this weekend so before the storm hit we took all that were here to go 4 wheeling.
We did a little riding but all the girls mostly just wanted to play.
After riding, we went to Crystals for a bbq. We tried to roast hotdogs but she didn’t have much wood and her neighbor got nervous so we resorted to bbqing the hotdogs.
It was hard to say goodbye to everyone, especially for Avram.

By Friday evening everyone was in town. Justin had smoked some amazing pork so everyone came over for dinner that night. I never got use to the fact that all my siblings were together in one room.
Friday night was a late one. Saturday, both Mike and Adam were smoking turkey for our Thanksgiving meal. I made four batches of dough for rolls, orange rolls, cinnamon rolls, and scones. David and Max were staying at our house so they got to eat scones with us. Once the rest of the kids arrived the left over scones vanished. Nothing went to waste. LOL.
Lunch was amazing! We had all the thanksgiving foods, it was so good! Everyone ate until they were full. The rest of the day we snacked on leftovers, pie and ice cream.
Sunday everyone came back over. Mike and Diana made all the fixings so that we could eat our left over meat in tacos. It was so good!
We all over ate. The kids played for 3 days straight. We visited and enjoyed time together.

It was hard watching Michael's family tell Avram good-bye. He is really going to be missed. The kids love him.
ReplyDeleteIt was good we could all get together before Avram leaves.
