A Family Gathering in Honor of Zeke

Ezekiel (Zeke) Villarreal, my nephew, will soon be leaving to serve in the Tulsa, Oklahoma, Spanish speaking mission. Today he spoke in Sacrament meeting and did a beautiful job. He will be a great missionary! After the church services, family and friends gathered at Villarreal's for a luncheon and visiting.

Zeke and Alyna

We told Zeke he ought to take this picture and let his companions see if they could guess which one of these girls is hes girlfriend. To bad half of these are cousins and the girl he really likes isn't even in the picture.

After dinner, there seemed to be an epidemic of sleepiness. I loved the picture of Kimmy and Annie because it reminds me of the many times when my girls slept in exactly the same position.

This certainly can't be comfortable for all the girls.

Bonnie was able to sit down after dinner and enjoy a few minutes with Kara.

It was really nice to be able to spend a relaxed afternoon together. Everyone that wanted to, got to hold Mandy and Dan's new baby, Kara. Annie entertained us with her amazing kindergarten knowledge. Then she went in and put on her Halloween zebra costume and danced the dance of the sugar plum fairies. Very Darling!

Mostly family!

Andrew and Lindsay are becoming friends with all the kids Alyna's age. Alyna is amazed that they would want to hang out with them but really loves having them all be able to enjoy doing things together.
