Like Nephi, I am blessed to have goodly parents. Family is important to them. Family time is important to them. They share this love with us.
Unlike Nephi, I am blessed with excellent siblings, and they have chosen excellent spouses. I know it doesn't always happen this way and am sooo grateful they chose to join us on this crazy journey of life. Very blessed!
And I don't even know where to begin with my amazing neices and nephews! They are the best and make by life better every day.
Annually, my parents throw a Halloween bash. Pumpkin carving. Chili. Hot dogs. Donuts. Treats. We drank from fake blood bads filled with apple cider this year. (All of us that is except my youngest nephew in attendance. They looked more like plasma or urine samples than blood bags. He was too grossed out by them and drank from a boring cup.) We played several rounds of Connect Four. Lots of laughter. It was super fun.
With all of the craziness of the past few months, the date and time of the pumpkin carving contest has been bounced around. We weren't sure if it would have to be cancelled entirely.
My brother and sister-in-law's family came over after church today for dinner (chili and hot dogs) and to carve pumpkins. It was a blast to hang out with them. We were sad that we weren't able to have everyone attend.
On the plus side, we were able to virtually attend LRM's primary program, broadcast from Alaska, and attended WJM and IJM's primary program in person in Lehi. They all did a great job!
Family time makes me happy.
