Yesterday we attended the funeral services for 40 Year Old Colby Little, Melodie and Jeff's Son. These are my father, Richard Kay's cousins. It was a bitter sweet reunion. We have so many relatives here in Utah. The services were held at the Morgan, Utah stake center. This city is very rural and just beautiful, with a lot of horses and cattle. After the service Vivian was supposed to attend a Christmas party but we convinced her to let us stay for the family dinner after the interment. We got to know other relatives including Colby's daughters from his current marriage Sylvie and London. We also got to know Afton and Ashlee who were Greta's granddaughters. The girls warmed up quickly to their distant cousins. We got the girls bow and arrows at the solar store prior to the dinner. We gave our sincere condolences to the immediate family and Melodie.
After the funeral, with its wonderful ham, Jell-O salads with cream and fruit, and Funeral Potatoes ( which Sylvia and Vivian found quite delicious and said they wanted to make some later to eat) We had a movie night in the Cinemark Farmington. The choice was between Coco and Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Star wars won. We loved it. It was so good and very funny. The Force. Royal marveled at the light filled one story high pair of reindeer at the entrance of the mall. We went by that afterwards as well. Shawna brought her long pillow and it helped her to sleep across the seats.
This morning Royal woke up and we wrestled on the floor in grandpa's sitting room in front of the Christmas tree decorated in white ribbon, knit snow flakes, white blossoming flowers, white lights and an angel dressed in white up top. Royal really got into it in front of grandpa and Shawna joined in too. We used the piano cushion as a bumper. He rams his head into you like a bull. He also jumps belly first onto your back.
