Jesse and Annavelyn Wilcox and son have been on a lengthy vacation to her homeland in the Philippines. Her family there having more time to get acquainted more thoroughly with little Desmond Wilcox who has celebrated his third birthday this October.

Candy Longhurst is announcing the arrival of two grandbabies. These two arrived nearly at the same time, but miles apart. Tiffany and Spencer Wheeler welcomed a little girl to add to their family in Boise. Jake and Holly Longhurst were in Logan when their infant son Owen arrived. There were some complications with his birth and Owen was life-flighted to Primary Childrens’ hospital in Salt Lake City. The unexpected situation was diagnosed and treated and the Longhurst family is now home in Franklin, ID.
The youth of the Mink Creek Ward have been planning a trip to the Rescue Mission and homeless shelter in Ogden, UT, for some time. To be of further help the Young Women group has been collecting new and gently used winter wear and blankets to leave with the shelter. They gathered coats, blankets, hats, gloves, scarves and when the date arrived for the planned visit the girls were all under the weather themselves and unable to participate. The truckload resulting from this Winter Clothing Drive went down to Ogden with the Young Mens’ group who were sufficiently healthy to be the means of delivery as well as to help out at the shelter in whatever tasks were needed at that time.
Lorraine Christensen has been on grandmother duty recently. She has been in Layton, tending the children of Carrie and Ken Melton, while the couple attended a work related meeting for Ken. Fun for kids, fun for grandma.
Thanksgiving weekend was a busy one, but the many guests have returned to their scattered homes after enjoying a cold, but dry day in Mink Creek. Family traditions abounded, and lots of good food was served. There has been a search for recipes to use up Thanksgiving leftovers in an appetizing dish.
