When Grandma Brownie (Gilliland-Henkel) died mid-November, our plans for Thanksgiving turned a sharp corner. We decided to load everyone up and haul ourselves home for the funeral and the holiday. Lori and Brad kindly lent us all a room in their Flagstaff cabin. It was the perfect gathering spot for a good, old-fashioned turkey dinner. I loved being with my siblings once again (so grateful for all the together time we've had this year). We also spent a day with the Gordons in Camp Verde. Mostly just helped Grandma G put her tree up, but also hit a movie and McDonalds with Mike and Janae and Laura and Phillip and cousins. Then down in the Valley...Grandma's funeral was a wonderful gathering and reunion. Fun to see all the Gilliland family and some of our most loyal and true Shaw Butte Ward friends. It all went by in a whirlwind and then we were headed back home to Kansas.
