My brother Edward has a recipe from a Mexican Restaurant in Provo that they love and he wanted to make the dinner that they love from that restaurant for all of us on Wednesday. So once again we all tracked out to Rowlett to Elizabeth's home where Edward and Jill had some wonderful bbq pulled pork taco type salad's with a special dressing (really hard to explain what it was, not sure they ever told us) but it was really good and we were very happy that Edward wanted to treat us all!! It was a treat. Then almost everyone including Alan says that what happened next was his favorite part of the holiday. Whenever the Clays get together, especially when Mom was alive, whenever we were all together as a family for whatever reason we were always singing around the piano. So we had an impromptu gathering around the piano where everyone sang, cried, laughed and just loved being all together again singing the songs we use to sing with Mom. Ruth played her cello again, Dad asked me to sing "O Holy Night" and Sarah played her piano again....but mostly we all just sang our favorite songs, like "I Heard Him Come", all the Janice Kapp Perry songs, "O Lord My Redeemer" and other favorites. It was a great night.

We also were able this year to celebrate Sarah's birthday with her!! Grandpa and Grandma Barbara brought a cake and we all brought presents and it was a nice Surprise!!
Allison and John went home from Elizabeth's that night and we went back to Ft Worth to get back to work the next day! And we thought that was the end of our holiday. But........
