FAMILY REUNION: Friday Night Dinner

Hey Everyone! The Ellis Family Reunion is quickly approaching. Instead of a potluck dinner Friday night, Tammy wants to do Mexican haystacks, with each family bringing an item (listed below) for approximately ___50_____ people. We realize that not everyone can make it to the reunion this year, so if a representative from each family will be sure that their food item is covered, that would be great.

Randy and Chris Ellis Family: any kind of a dessert.
Merilee and Harold Waters Family: corn chips, a couple bags.
Kevin and Sylvia Ellis Family: Salads
Lanett and Barry Hallows Family: Salads
Garrin and Stephanie Ellis Family:Condiments, cheese, lettuce, sour cream
Margo and Jeff Sears Family:Corn Chips a couple bags
Ashley and Spencer and Cory and Joanna: Condiments: cheese, lettuce, sour cream.
Grandma and Grandpa:green onions,olives,salsa
and Kim and Tammy will provide the meat.

We only listed the parents but cousins you are assigned the same thing as your family.
Please spread the word!
Hope everyone can make it.
Love,
Chase and Kori.

Love ya!

oh we are definitely coming! We'll try to leave Thurs after work---still negotiating with Devin--he wants to wait and oome after work on Friday---I want him to come with us Thurs. How far si the campsite from your home?

We're looking forward to it!!

Oh---and dont' know if Joanna got my note--but when I sign in I can't get this blog listed--so I can't start any threads...just comment. Can you fix that? THX!

Kim and Tammy said...

Thanks Stef!
After I sent comment out, I remember you saying you guys were coming. We thought it would be fun to go further on up for a picnic on the 4 wheelers, etc that afternoon and see more of the country.

We are able to come for Friday. Not sure what time we will be there. Might leave after work Thursday night or most likely we will leave Friday morning and be able to stay for the day. As for my family I am not sure if anyone else willbe coming. I know Dad can not take any time off so Mom is not sure about coming either. I have not heard from Lacey or Cheary.

Stefanie said...

how many 4 wheelers do we have in the family to do that? Is everyone bringing them? We have 4 that we will most likely bring if we can swing it. Are you talking about Friday afternoon picnic Tammy?

I just realized TODAY that it's only 2 wks away---had to scramble to get someone to cover me at work! Can't believe it's almost July!

Chase said...

Mom was talking about Saturday I think after camp is cleaned up. Mom can verify that. There is some awesome country just up the road in Franklin basin. Mom can correct me if I am wrong.

Stefanie said...

Ok...that sounds good. We were going to try and do that Saturday I think. Also--Sunday we may do a little family history touring as my family is buried/born/etc up that way....Franklin is where G'ma Rigby was born that you knew in Rexburg Tammy. I dont' think I've ever been there. There's several others in my family too from up that way (not living)

hey... what are the chances i can get a ride up with devin if he goes later? and what weekend is it again?

also... if dont let me wanting to catch a ride with devin keep him from going with you guys on thursday...

just if it turns out that way... only if :)

i am sure i can go up with spencer and shelly if needs be...

I am not sure anyone from my family is going to be able to attend. The only one that was going to try was Tanya if she could get the time off. Also, she was concerned in that she did not have a ride to the reunion. We are not going to be able to go in that we have already made two trips to Utah this year and there is just not enough money left. I wish we could be there is sounds so fun and we really miss seeing everyone. If anyone from SLC area has room for Tanya and could take her along her give her a call.

Ashley Mullen said...

We are leaving on Thursday morning, if Tanya can swing it, then she can come up with me and the kids.

Kim and Tammy said...

Randy I think Spencer and Shelly are coming, too. So will be fun to have 2 of your kids with us anyway. I think Kim and I will be feeling the $$ crunch as when Spencer and Ashley move to Washington! We always think about you guys so hope you always feel our love for you and your family. Also Shelly and Tanya, remember each of you have desserts so call on the rest of the family for help if needs be. Willow Flats is not too far so we could even get ice cream bars or something if need be. Plan on about 50 people (I HOPE). Love ya ALL (coming from an implanted UTAHAN!)

Stefanie said...

Tanya---we're still talking about whether Devin can come up on Friday after work...so I don't know what to tell you . I'd prefer he just come with us--or unfortunately not at all. He really can't afford to drive all that way--but he's really not sure about getting off Friday either. I'm going to barely afford to drive my suburban so we can't pay it either. :) Stay tuned...we'll figure it out!

Kim and Tammy said...

Okay, I talked to Shelly and they are not coming. Although Shelly may come anyway. I'll chat with her today and find out for sure. Things could always change in a week, right.

Lacey Strupp said...
