Thanksgiving 2010

We traveled 14 hours to Utah to be with my family for Thanksgiving. We arrived late Wed. night. It was fun to see everyone. Layne, Jayme, Payce & Tayo came up from Vegas. Lynette traveled in from Boise, and us from Wenatchee. It was fun to all be together. Lori & Hank & klan came up from Orem. We had 27 of us for Thanksgiving dinner. (Lynette had brought 2 friend with her). We had a very enjoyable time being together. If you can't tell I enjoy being together with my family. :-)
We had great food, fun, and laughter. The next day we had our family pictures taken outside my parents home in the snow. It was cold!! The photographer did a great job. Here are some examples of his work:












It was fun. After pictures, we went bowling. Had a lot of fun!! Later that night we had our friends the Wilkinson's and their families over for pizza and soda. We enjoyed visiting and meeting new parts of the family. We had a tradition in Great Falls, MT. Where we would have Thanksgiving or Christmas with the Wilkinson's, so it was great to reunite and do it again.
Santa & Mrs. Claus came and surprised us all. It was fun. The kids and some of the adults sat on his lap and received a present from Santa. Just like old times.
Thanks Santa & Mrs. Claus for coming to visit us. :-)

Sat. --Just spent time together and played games and enjoyed each other.
Sun. --Went to church and had dinner together.
Monday-We made the long trek back to home, took 16 hours. We had an almost 2 hour delay at the Utah/Idaho border, they had closed the road.
We brought our friend, Jamie Kershner home with us, and she was there for her grandpa's funeral and was looking for a ride home. Glad we were there and able to help her. We had fun visiting on the way home.
That was our vacation to Utah for Thanksgiving. Thanks Mom & Dad for hosting us in your home, and for all the food and fun! You are the bestest parents ever!!
