We had a family gathering today so that we had one day with everyone together before Danny leaves for 5 months.
Kathryn and Seth stayed overnight the night before, so they were the first to 'arrive'.
Andrew was next, bringing a quad with him to have fun with.......but it didn't work.
So, the boys played "Guitar Hero" instead.....
Enough of that.....Andrew and Jim try to figure out what is wrong with the 600 snowmachine. Conclusion: bad fuel.
While they are working on the sled, Rob, Lana, and the kids arrive......
Ty was all dressed up for church and did not change before coming out to the farm.
The Ritchies were the next to arrive......these photos were taken while we were all just visiting - well, mostly giving Daniel a hard time.
Michael, Victoria, and Kaden arrive, now everyone is here!
Kissing Cousins......
Time for supper.....the girls all help in one way or another......
The little girls and Auntie Kathryn watched a movie in Gramma and Grampa's bedroom - after the little girls had played outside for a couple hours, at least.
Poor Jim was SO tired......he is just beginning to recouperate after working so many long days in a row - coupled with having been on night shift for the previous 10 days. But he enjoyed having his grandbabies and children around him while he tried to stay awake.

Supper time........
After supper, when there was just Mike and Tor left, the five of us played a game called "Things". It was fun and there were a few hilarious moments.

Just before Mike and Tor went home, Mike challenged Daniel to a crokinole game or two.
Kathryn and Seth stayed overnight again since Vinj was at work all night. Here is Seth getting his nighttime 'meds'. He takes it very well.

A good day - except that I felt sick and Jim was very tired.....but our only chance to have a 'family day' before Dan is gone. Next gathering will be without Danny. Hope it is soon, though.

I'm glad that you all got to be together, I know it is tough to get everyone in one place these days.
"Things" is a hilarious game, we've played it too!
It was wonderful to have everyone under one roof. Chatting, laughing....as always, it needs to happen more often...with winter done maybe something can be done about that.
