Sister's Retreat
I love to get together with my sisters! This year, even my brother John came. He drove down with Cindy and Joan. After everyone arrived, we enjoyed a steak dinner with salad, baked potato bar, garlic bread and a cheese ball with crackers for an appetizer. It was great being all together - I treasure such times!
The next morning, Hal and John drove to St. George to go golfing with Roger and Ken. The Payson Temple was closed so the sisters went to the Provo Temple for a late morning session. It is always good to enjoy the temple with family members!
After the temple, we went to lunch together at a Thai restaurant and then stopped at Real Deals in Spanish Fork for some "sister shopping" on our way home.
We found some cute Halloween and Thanksgiving decorations there.
The next day we drove to the Salt Lake area and had to go to SteinMart!! We all found some bargains! Then we ate lunch at a Greek restaurant and made our way to South Jordan to visit Aunt Gary and Randee.
Randee and Gary live in a nice assisted living center near the Jordan River Temple. We hadn't seen them for some time and decided to make a visit. We had a very pleasant time catching up on their lives and their family and we were so glad that we had come to see them!
Halloween
We had a few special trick-or-treaters (among the 350 that came to our home) on Halloween.

Blowing out the candles
Oops! I accidently blew out all remaining candles so there were none for Conrad to blow out!

Our family has fun hanging out together with lots of teasing and lots of laughter!
