Fun at Grandma and Grandpa's House

We had lots of fun up at Grandma and Grandpa's house in Kamas, Utah, where we went for Thanksgiving. Can't believe that I didn't get any other pictures of Thanksgiving Day with all the cousins there (must have been too busy cooking with Grandma in the kitchen). But we had a great long weekend just hanging out with Keith and Karmen and Jessica and Nate. Played lots of games, and ate, watched movies, and ate, we talked, and ate and had lots of fun and then ate some more.

We spent the afternoon going through boxes of old pictures. I wanted some copies of pictures of Kraig's Grandparents and Great-Grandparents. It was fun to look at all the pictures and hear all the stories. Keith, Karmen and I went through an old, old, album that they had and with their geneolgy sheet tried to put names to all of the pictures. We actually wrote the names on the backs of all the old pictures that we could. A great job done!

Jessica inherited a fun chip and dip bowl set that was given to Keith and Karmen for their wedding.

I received a beautiful dish that was Kraig's Great-Grandmothers on his Dad's side. It belonged to this woman in the picture below. Her name was Fannie Mariah Clark Naylor. It's so fun to see her face and imagine her using it. A cherished family heirloom!

Fannie Mariah was beautiful! Sounds & looks like you all had a good time. Loved the mod specs on the kids. Glad you made it back, heard there was quite a storm waiting for you!
