gathering of the Blomgren's

On the last day of November, the Blomgren's gathered in St. James, Minnesota. We first met at the Super 8 and then moved to the Homestead Apartments to the party room. Liana and I discovered we were wearing matching boots:

Here is the guest list:

Mom

Kent, Abby and Danielle

Kurt, Jenna, Cody, Stella, Vance and Kaitie

Kyle, Kim, Kyle Jr., Adam, Erika, Liana, Ryan and Summer

Cory, Joan, Evan and Trenton

Karen, Brad, Anders, Katie and Osten

We ate delicious appetizers like deviled eggs, pickles with ham wraps, chips, veggies and then came pizza from Casey's. Vance brought Busch Lite and everyone enjoyed a lovely meal and visiting. We played a really fun game called Salad Bowl charades with the entire group. It was really fun to play and I was pretty bad at the game, but I would totally play again. 

 

To end the evening we bid farewell and agreed to meet at First Lutheran in Butterfield for worship. We headed back to Super 8 and got some swimming in. 

On Sunday morning, back to the pool for Osten and Trenton and then we learned that Kent is moving to a new townhome in Clive

Then we went to First Lutheran in Butterfield. After the service we had lunch at the Hometown in St. James. There was a lot of laughter and grandma loved hearing us laugh together. Back to her house to help prepare for the holidays and then we drove back home to get ready for another full week. 

Mom and I discovered we were dressed alike on Sunday

This holiday weekend was pretty magical. It is so nice to have special times together, but it's also really nice to get back into our routine.
