With Ali here and so many family events going on Sean and I got to spend OODLES of time with my family and it was terrific!
First we all went down to sunny St. George for the Gwilliam Family reunion. We had a blast at the Gwilliam Family's gym.
Dec 5th was also a day to remember. Four out of the six Chaffin children and our spouses (minus Mr. Mike, we missed you Mike) drove to the Manti temple for our cousin Adam's wedding. That day I got to experience FOUR of my very favorite things all in ONE day: my family, the temple, a road trip and Fat Jacks Fat Sticks. It pretty much doesn't get any better than this.
The day after the wedding was the day to top it all off. My family all met at the tracks station and then rode down to SLC where we went on a $5 spending 'spree' for the person whose name we drew. $5 at the Gateway doesn't go very far, if you can imagine, but we all did pretty good.
Afterward we trekked over to Temple Square to see the lights.
All that time spent with my family helped me to remember how lucky I am to be a part of such a special group. I'm grateful for the days, hours and even minutes that we got to spent together this holiday season. Grateful for the laughter we shared and for the bonds that were strengthened. I'll be forever grateful for these people and the person they have helped me to become.

Wow I'm jealous of all the family fun you have been able to have. So glad you got to see your sister again. That gym looked awesome! I need to find a place like that.
Well it was worth the wait!!! I love the post. We did have a great time and I can't wait for you guys to come to PA in May. That's what we'll call the vacation!!! "PA in May!" How fun!
Looks like you all had so much fun! I'm jealous we didn't get to play in the gym last summer, it looks awesome!
So when are you guys going to PA in May? We are planning on coming out for awhile in May so let us know! There's no way we are missing seeing you guys!
Wow! How did I miss this post? It looks like a lotta fun for sure. I'm totally jealous you got to have fat sticks. I'll have to take Rob back to Ephraim someday when it's NOT Sunday.
