Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving this year was wonderful! We didn't have to travel, and we still got to spend the holiday with family. They came to us this year. It was wonderful to have so many family members in our home and to enjoy a wonderful meal together. We had a total of 18 people at the table (2 tables).
The day could not be complete without the pies - yum, yum!
Everyone pitched in to help make the delicious feast!
Jackie loved having a new baby at our house to hold. She got him to sleep in her arms the first morning they were here. She was really good with him. Isn't he precious!
Grandma, Aunt Elly, and I took the kids to the park in the late afternoon. They had a blast as you can see.
Even Grandma went down the slide, multiple times and with multiple children. What a fun Grandma.
Ya the pictures are out of order, but you still get the general idea. Preparing the food. It is a lot more fun to prepare food for company than it is for just your own family. Maybe it is because we don't have company very often.
It was nice having so much help in the kitchen. Grandma helped Dallin make a pie the night before. He was so proud of his pie, he told everyone that he made the pie. It was delicious!
Alyssa peaks through the playhouse window as she patiently waits for the food to be ready.
Malinda traveled all the way out here in her own car, with Jeralin of course. It was great to have them here. Jackie and Jeralin had a blast together all weekend.
Dallin is showing Grandpa his BONE! That is a cherished bone that was found last summer at a family reunion. The kids loved having so much attention from everyone.
