Last weekend we went to Mesquite for the now annual Gale Family Reunion. We had a great time and it was the first time since all of the kids have been married that EVERYONE (kids, spouses, grandkids, etc.) was there. On Friday we went to St. George and Jen, Kevin and kiddos got sealed as a family. It was awesome!
Grant listening as usual.
Lincoln was freezing so this is his "I'm freakin' freezing Mr. Bigelsworth" face.

That night we had Christmas
and a surprise baby shower for Tameo and Chris.
Saturday a photographer, Kevin Hulett, came out to the house and took some family pics. When I get them I'll make a post. I'm not sure how they turned out yet, but I have high hopes :) He seemed to do a really good job and I was very happy with the turnout (like I said, haven't seen actually pics yet, but hopefully everyone smiled). We had to tell Lincoln that Wall-E would come out of the camera if he could look right at it and give it his best smile. One day we should probably stop lying to him. Oh, obviously Wall-E never showed up, but a pack of fruit snacks seem to give little boys with ADD amnesia :) We took the kids to a local park after nap time and they had a great time.
That night Janna, Sean and Shaunna volunteered to stay home with the little ones while the rest of the adults went bowling at one of the local casinos. It's a good thing you can't see the scores :)
Sunday we had some delicious breakfast, cleaned up our messes, said our good-byes to everyone, and we got back into Grandpa's airplane for our quick ride home.
It was such a great weekend. I want to give a few thank you shout-outs: All my wonderful Gale family; Austin for watching the boys while we went through the temple; and finally my parents, for not only letting us stay in their awesome house, but letting us borrow their plane to get there and back. Thanks Mom and Dad we love you!

On Halloween we took the boys to the rec center where they had a Halloween Carnival. It was really busy so we didn't stay too long. Lincoln is about 2 years too young for it still, so he didn't mind leaving early. The boys had a good time because they got to decorate cookies and play a few games.
