December 22, 2012 - Holderness Family Party

On Saturday, December 22, we had a small family gathering of the extended Holderness family. By small, I mean about 60 of us. We are a ridiculous bunch, and drive absurd amounts of time to be at any gathering that somebody else is having, because we are always so afraid that someone will have fun without us. Seriously! My mom drove from Boise - a SIX hour drive one way, to come to a 3 hour event! Isn't she awesome?!?!  Helen and Gary came from Grace, Idaho.  Connie came from Logan and so did the Kingstons.  Jessica made a 10 hour drive from Wyoming, with the possibility of driving back home through a snow storm!  Lonnie and Malia came from Pocatello.  The rest of the family came from the area between Provo and Woods Cross.  The Winn's came a full mile and a half from the mission home and were the last ones to arrive.  Hmmmm......

I guess we must like each other an awful lot, or we're just crazy.  Or both.
