Mini-family reunion April 2009

Thursday, Chris and Jenelle and Dawson arrived at our house and it was a busy afternoon. Chris and Mark worked and experimented with Calla's school science project on pulleys. Jenelle helped me make two big fruit trays for my Stake RS Leadership meeting that night. We were grateful for their willingness to help.Dawson was the "taste tester" and enjoyed the grapes and strawberries. He is a major fruit lover! He switched from saying "Maga" to "Grandma" this trip! He loves to talk and was fun to listen to. He warmed up to everyone really quick. We hadn't seen him in 8 months, so it was obvious as I looked back at the pictures I took that he got in most of the shots.


On Friday, Tim's family and Brookly's family arrived. Here are some fun shots of the weekend. We were pretty much indoors the last two days because of strong winds. Calla was gone alot to play rehearsals and we missed her. Grandpa read to the kids. I gave Cindy her first sewing lesson. The "guys" went looking for ammunition and brought home Kentucky Fried chicken. We got some DQ one night. Played Yahtzee and Jenelle won with two Yahtzee's. Watched an old Christmas video and laughed and laughed together. Ate some good food and talked and shared smiles, kisses and hugs. The next time we get together will be at Thanksgiving,and there will be a new Reed grandbaby by then. Thank you all for coming and sharing a few days at the Reed Roost.
