Celebrations

Well, last Sunday we (as in Don's side of the family) finally all got together. It had been a while since all of us who live in the Portland area had got together. We celebrated Valentine's Day, (which is the anniversary of Don's parents/family sealing in the San Jose Temple) & Don's & his Dad's birthday. We had a delicious dinner (Don made homemade fettuccine for the beef stroganoff - homemade pasta is so much better) - I got a few photos of the chef at work:) We also had yummy chocolate cake dough-nuts that Don's parents had special made for dessert, & yummy black berry pie & ice cream that Gr. Grandma Coates made. Don is going to try to get a book together of all (well at least some of) Grandma's delicious pies. She says she doesn't really have recipes for all as she just invents them as she makes them. Anyways, they are some of best pies I have ever had. We all had a great time just visiting & chatting with everyone. Here are some fun photos:

Wow all that good food. You guys will have to put together a recipe book with the pies and all of the good food Don has been making. I would love one. How are the girls liking school? When we come up to see you maybe we can see a few of those places with you.
