Heaton Happenings

Penelope and I spent Thanksgiving at my parent's house in Wyoming. My Mom really wanted a new family picture, since there were three additions in the past year, so everyone came, except Aaron. (He had to work, of course.) There were 35 of us. 17 grandchildren, and Penelope is not even the youngest. There are 2 that are younger than her. It was a lot of fun but it was also very noisy and busy.

One of my sisters bought a pinata and the kids had a lot of fun breaking it. Penelope thought it was great fun, until it fell to the ground and then she started crying. She just couldn't believe that anyone would be that mean to such a cute animal. (When the pinata was in the house, waiting for it's fate, Penelope would walk by and growl at it and then giggle.)

Penelope really missed her Daddy while we were gone, but she found substitutes. She really loved her uncle John (in the picture), uncle Morgan and Grandpa.

It was a very nice trip, but we are glad to be home. Oh we had a chance to see Christa and Bianca while we were in Salt Lake. I wanted to see Carey too, but I didn't want to make her feel obligated to come and see me, especially since baby is coming soon. Anyway, I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
