Before we got started Rachel was helping Renae Skype Amanda and Paulie in Texas so they could "join" us. Here is Angie, Bella, B.J., Anders, Kailey, Dakota, Gabe's head, Ivy, Jessica, Annette, Renae, and Rachel.
Our three darling daughters, our two fabulous son-in-laws, and our two adorable baby dolls!
How many people can you cram in the Billings living room? We have 8 little people chairs for the little kids. It was a fun sight. The boy in the pink chair ducking is Tyson's nephew Mason Hathaway that came with Chelsea and Tyson. They were taking him home from Oak City to Ogden so he joined us.
Gordon gave a really good lesson including these cool puppets. It was about being an eagle and not a duck. I think the kids really liked it. Gordon also laser engraved some signs for everyone that had to do with the lesson.
After the lesson we had our talent show. We had Sammy play his violin. Lily showed us her cartwheels (outside in the rain). Byerly showed us his sweet paper airplane design. Gabraylie, Ellary, Zoey, and Kailey sang for us. Lizzie showed us a DVD of her dance performance. Lexie showed her VanGuard show.
Rachael made brownies all by herself. She shared her talent with everyone.
We had our traditional fashion show where the kids (that wanted to) modeled their new school clothes. We handed out everyone's back-to-school bags full of school supplies, then we had banana splits, cake, and brownies for dessert. What a fun evening. We also had a mini celebration of Ellary's birthday. Her birthday was the day before.

Thanks so much for the wonderful tradition. The kids love it and it is so good for them.
Wishing we were squishing in their too!
