I got up at 5 a.m and got the Stuffing made.  It is my great grandma Daisy’s recipe and is so good.  Then I stuffed the turkey and put it in an oven bag and put it in the oven.  I put the rest of the stuffing in the crockpot.  I got the turkey in the oven by 7 and Evan came downstairs at 7.  He ate breakfast and then talked to me lots until is started reading my Bible.  He said some Scriptures he has memorized and also recited the PreAmble.  He learns a lot at the Christian school he goes to.  He went outside for a while to shoot baskets.  It was in the mid 40s today so it wasn’t too cold out.  Vikki picked up Peyton, Isaac and Eli from our church youth group retreat and came here at 10:15.  The kids all had a great time.  Jacob and Abi got here shortly after, and then Kimmy, Jared, Jacob, Hope and Adam came. Next Kenzie, Travis and Rehvyn came.   Stacie got here at about the same time.  . Kody woke up and was stuffy, so she was the only one who came.  Then Melissa and her family got here.  Bill and Isaac went and picked up the rag top for Jared’s jeep up and then they took it to Rody’s.  Vikki took Eli and I for a ride around the block and stopped at 7-11 for Eli to get a drink.  Her car is so nice and so is Rody’s Jeep.  Adam is sure happy they gave him Vikki’s car.  Sue called and said she was ready.  I had Bill go pick her up.  We all were so happy she came.  She had a really good time and so did the rest of us.  She brought her old clarinet and gave it to Jacob.  The kids hung out in the basement playing the wi and playing pingpong.  The girls and I sat all of the food on the table, then Melissa put the rolls in the oven.  I made the gravy and then we gathered everyone, prayed and ate. Rehvyn ate really good.  He was so cute and can really crawl good now.  It’s so much fun having a baby around again.  He sure was good the whole day.  He took one short nap upstairs in the pack and play. 

The kids and Kimmy, Jared and Vikki all played Pictionary.  Sue, Melissa and I visited at the kitchen table, then we moved to the dining room table where Bruce and Bill were.  

We got all three pies out, and then everyone had dessert.  I took Sue to pick up her prescription and then took her home. She said she had a really nice time.  

I came home and Melissa and her family had left.  The rest of us played Pictionary and Cherades,  I held Rehvyn and rocked him and everyone cleaned up the house and then left for home.  Such a wonderful family and fun day.
