The Thankgiving Weekend Surprise

--> We had a pretty full Thanksgiving weekend.  We started out by having a family Thanksgiving dinner.  It was great to have Ruth and Glenn home this year.  On Friday Camille and Zachary were also able to make it home.  I was so looking forward to having all the kids home and enjoying some great family times together.  Little did I know I had even more to look forward to.  Vern and the kids planned a surprise 50th birthday party for me.  I was getting supper ready Friday night and in walks 3 of my siblings,  two sister in-laws, three nieces and a nephew to join in on celebrating my birthday.  I was TOTALLY surprised.  And there was no greater present they could have given me.  The hardest part of us being missionaries has been living so far away from family.  It was such a great weekend and so many special memories were made together.  I was so humbled that my family would go through so much to make my 50th birthday so special.  (As part of my birthday dinner a "photo booth" was set up where we took a bunch of crazy pictures together.  I will post them when I get them back.)  On Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend there was another bridal shower for Camille and it was so nice to enjoy that with family.   Thank-you to all of my family that made this past Thanksgiving Weekend a weekend I will never forget.
