Unpacking is over rated... let's have a family weekend instead

There is nothing like having guests to make you get your house in order fast.  Yes, on Thursday a whole house full of people (12 total) arrived to help us christen the new home.  That meant getting beds put together, made, unpacking, having the kitchen ready, having food, etc.  Thank goodness for Costco and lots and lots of Amazon deliveries.

And what a family weekend it was.  Ahren, Macy & Cole.  Jeff, Roxane, Roslyn and Raquel.  Venita & Dave.  And even Grandma Norma.  We had great food, great fun and even got more unpacking done.  Uncle Dave did some landscaping for us.  We went to Prineville Reservoir for the day to tube and fish as well.  We enjoyed 2 nights at the camp fire roasting marshmallows and morning walks as a big family every morning as well.  I personally felt so fortunate to have such great family (and friends that might as well be family).  And Lily was in heaven!  She even headed back to the Salem with Ahren, Macy and Cole for two days all by herself.
