Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was fabulous. Spent with the people I love the most. Usually we do a big dinner with my mom's family in Las Vegas, but we have known for some time that it was getting TOO big and that eventually we'd have to branch out and do our own thing. This was the year.

Heather and her family came from AZ and we had a nonstop party for days. Movies, temple sealings, games, FOOD, four square, gorgeous weather and a bounce house. Couldn't ask for more. Here are some of our family pics:


Love these two


Cheesy, but still cute








Parentals with the single sibs


Granddaughters


Grandkids--all 13 of them (plus one more on the way--Heather's)


Grandparentals with most of the boys


Grandsons


Plenty of food (and rainbow jello)! Look at Heather's yummy rolls. Nice work!


This was the "small" Thanksgiving. 24 of us. There were 19 more in Vegas. Yeah, it had gotten a bit out of hand!



Allie led a couple of the cousins in a group dance. They walked up and down this cement wall doing all sorts of fancy choreography. Allie is wearing hand-me-downs from our cousin in LV. It was too funny and we couldn't stop watching!


The old man doing what he does best--studying the gospel. 



Table set up



Enjoying the meal

The bounce house that saved our sanity



Four square action--fun for everyone!


The little boys preferred the sand. Imagine that!
