Our Forever Family

Thanksgiving Day We all stayed in the World Mark Time Share in St. George.  Each family got their own room and we were all on the same floor.  The cousins had fun running back and forth between rooms!  Thanksgiving day we reserved the church and ate and played LOTS!  It was so much fun.  Melissa brought the crafts and the kids never stopped making stuff!  Basketball was another game and lots of “bump”.  At the end we had a family talent show.  Cameron acted out a scene from Studio C.  He was Jeremy on “Just Jeremy” that was hilarious.  Melanie also acted out a scene from Studio C.  She was Susan Weebers and gave us all a laugh on how to get “luscious lips”.  Jason was amazing and sang a song about frogs in Chinese.  Alyssa played 2 songs on the piano that she had learned in the 2 short months she has played.  Jenna, with Dad’s help, did some gymnastics stunts.  It was fun to see the kids get really excited about this part!  They all looked forward to it!

Lee Family Reunion 2014 Our First Road trip in our new vehicle was HEAVEN!  David could talk on his phone and the kids could hear their movie all at the SAME TIME!  Boston traveled like a champ too! We arrived in St. George and got ready for our pictures we had lined up.  Trying to get 41 people looking amazing for a picture is no small feat!  And our photographer did AMAZING!  I feel so blessed to be a part of this family!  My kids are so lucky to have cousins that are instant friends when we see each other!  I have so much in common with all of my Sister-In-Laws and have so much of the same views on raising a big family. 

Wow!  What holidays 6 kids including a new baby can do to your journaling!  Lots of catch up to do!! Oh what fun we had this weekend!!  Grandma and Grandpa McGary got to meet Boston for the first time, Melissa and Ryan’s family too and Grandma and Grandpa Lee came up for the day!  My parents flew in Thursday morning early giving us a few days to play!  I was worn out since David was still in the Philippines, it was a great thing to look forward to!  On the way home from the airport Dad treated us to breakfast at Denny’s.  It was fun to show them around the new house, let them meet Olaf and they played with Jenna till the rest of the kids got home from school.  My Mom was my sanity saver.  She finished sewing Boston’s blessing clothes (bow tie and pants) and worked in the kitchen, doing all the food prep for the luncheon after church Sunday.  My Dad does what he always does when he comes!  He is the fun, adventurous grandpa.  Jenna managed to get in some sleeping time with grandpa on t
