Monday, November 21 - We just found out that the shelter in place order that was sent out last night was for this man. His name is Alma Worthington. He is Richard Worthington's son. Richard is the one that created a hostage situation at the Women's Center at Alta View Hospital back in 2001 and eventually shot and killed a nurse there. Richard was also my Grandpa Lind's first cousin. This poor family! Alma did end up dying by police gunfire after a several-hour standoff in Herriman last night. So sad!
Tuesday, November 22 - Marisa gave us this countertop soft serve ice cream maker so we tried it out today. After Nick made a huge mess by dumping the liquid in without the rubber seal in it, he was able to make a successful batch. It produced enough ice cream for Nick, Kendra, and Ricki to have some. It's kind of a fun little gadget!
Wednesday, November 23 - My self-appointed assignment for Thanksgiving was pies. Zack wanted to help so he and I made two pumpkin, a banana cream, and a Dutch apple pie. It took several hours but we got it all done!
Thursday, November 24 - Best Thanksgiving Ever!! Kenny and Katie flew in this morning with the kids and made it in time for the big day. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner together, played games, and then surprised the little Howards with the news that we were all sleeping over! Slumber party at the Howard's!
Friday, November 25 - The day after Thanksgiving, we all woke up and made breakfast together. Mom had a few waffle irons and we all made as many waffles as we wanted. We went home for a couple of hours then the girls and I met back up with them at Texas Roadhouse for linner. Afterward, we all went back to mom's house for a while to hang out and say goodbye to Kenny. Katie is taking the kids home on Monday but Kenny leaves tomorrow morning and they were going to spend the remainder of his time with her family in Park City. It was hard to say goodbye, just like it always is. We had to get our sister-kissing-brother picture before they left. :)
Saturday, November 26 - Cute Katelynn Romero answered Nick for the dance. They will have so much fun! The kids and I worked on getting Christmas out...for most of the day. I asked them each to bring a few boxes up from the basement and one of the times, we heard Nick yell out. He had fallen up the stairs. Tonight, when I went to put my grandparents' nativity up, I found all of these broken pieces. He fell up the stairs with the most fragile box of Christmas decorations that we had. Through my tears, I glued the pieces back together the best I could and still put it out on my piano.
Sunday, November 27 - We had dinner with the Howard clan tonight because it's our last night with Katie and the kids. We played games and hung out until we had to peel ourselves away and go. It has been so nice to get to spend time with their family. We sure do love the Little Howard's!
