This year we traveled across the great state of Iowa for a mini-family gathering. Our niece and her family and her brother and his wife (nephew, of course) came from Pennsylvania. Linnea came from South Carolina, and we all met up with my sisters' family at my mom's right on the banks (not literally) of the Mississippi River. We set up two big tables in Mom's sitting room and had more food than we could eat. It's amazing that we could make more than enough. Sometimes I think it multiplies! We thought 19 people would be so many and we needed so much!
It was great to have Linnea with us, first time since 2000! Felt like I got a sneak preview on Christmas. We sang, played Boggle, crocheted and talked. Lots of noise. Lots of fun. We're so thankful for a great family, safely in travel for everyone and a good time together. How blessed we are!
