Counting Blessings: Impromptu FHE

Today's Blessing:  A Nice Long Table

It wasn't planned...but we ended up with all the kids at home tonight.  It was great!  Scott helped me throw together a family dinner and then we pulled out the table leaves and turned our six person table into a 10 person table.  That large table has definitely been a blessing in our lives but we'll soon be growing out of it before we're ready to!  Sad day.

Our little snitcher ;)

Our impromptu FHE started out when Jason and Anna decided last night to come to our house in order to complete our taxes instead of us traveling there.  According to Jason...Anna  need to "get out of the house".  I could totally understand that since you kind of get cooped up in your house when those little babies come along!  Stephanie and Clint, of course, got back from Logan to pick up Jonas so they stayed around.  Cody had already planned on coming to Jason and Anna's with us so he was here.  So we gave Tiffany and Jeremy a call and invited them too!  After all, they hadn't had a chance yet to see Little Lily, so it all worked out perfectly!

This was Cody's first time meeting Lily too!

Scott and I pulled from our food storage resources and concocted a dinner of Pigs, green beans, and green salad...all dairy free for our Stephanie. :)  You don't realize how many recipes have diary in them until you have to cut the dairy out!  And I got some good re-using from the compartment  food trays I had bought for Anna's baby shower. :)

We had a busy morning today too.  Scott and I woke up at 6:00 am and were whispering to ourselves so as not to wake up Jonas, but pretty soon we heard this cute little voice whispering too so we were all up by 6 am!  The movie "Cars" was our wake-up event. :)  For Breakfast, Jonas helped Scott make some delicious multi-grain pancakes.

It wasn't much longer after breakfast when we all headed up to the Fine Arts Center for the Open Museum Day.  I was telling two puppet stories for the session so Jonas got to be part of my audience.  By the time we arrived back home Stephanie and Clint were back from Logan and just chillin.  It wasn't long after that our house started to fill up, but I love a full house! It makes me happy! :)
