November 2021

We live at the ortho with Blake and Ty.

November is for basketball

Stockton's Birthday!

Birthday lunch at Fredricos with Grandma and Grandpa Pack.

He got a microscope amount other things.

It was his year for a party. I asked him what he wanted to do and he just wanted to go to a park and play with this friends. Best party ever. I just got pizza and had cup cakes.

He was so happy and had so many friends come.

So I had a time at the temple for baptisms which had a lot of open spots. My cute Grandma was feeling up to coming so I invited a bunch of my cousins and their kids. And almost all of them came last minute! We had a whole room full of Jenkins great grands. It was amazing. I kept thinking my Grandpa would be so proud of how many of his posterity were worthy and willing to be in the temple. She even came in to watch the kids and Bens boys were baptizing the others. She even got up with me to witness for the kids. I will never forget standing there with her and my arm around her watching her great grandkids do baptisms ini the temple. It will be one of my all time favorite memories of her. I miss her so much.

Bryan coached Stocktons basketball team. And won a few games!

We were going to Hawaii in January and with covid restrictions my kids needed to get their shot. They were such good sports about it!

Thanksgiving feast in Stocktons class

Thanksgiving weekend! We actually had thanksgiving with the Palmers but I can't find any pictures from it! We went to Jenny's house and it was just Cory's, Jennys and our family there with Grandma and Grandpa. It was so great. And the turkey Ron made was amazing.

We left for my moms after and just missed my cute Grandma who had eaten with Nate and a few of his kids and my parents. Sierra was home with a few sick kids.

The day after Thanksgiving A bunch of us got a time to go to the temple together. I don't remember the last time this many of us went to a session together. It was so amazing.

So this is story that will go down in Palmer family history. Our Santa passed away last year so we had to find a new one for our party. We did it after Thanksgiving since Cory was in town. We were all downstairs at my home singing Christmas songs and "Santa" came down stairs. And he is putting on his gloves! And just chatting with us! But not as Santa. He never really acted like Santa! The worst part was I was the one who found him! For example- When my nephew Luke went up he started talking about Luke Skywalker and doing Star Wars impressions. Abby said she wanted a car for christmas and he told her about a girl who died in a car accident. Sadie he told she didn't need a phone yet she was too young when she asked for one. But he wasn't mean just socially so awkward! I was dying. It was my fault. A few of Bryan's family though? They thought it was so funny they were dying.
