Thanksgiving 2016

This year, Thanksgiving was in Vernal with the whole family.  We had everyone there but Cameron, who is on his mission, and Gio, who was with his girlfriend's family.  We even got a picture of all of us together.




Also, we got a new family picture.  I should probably print this out.


This is Erin and I looking bored so we could send it to Cameron (nephew) to let him know he wasn't missing much at Thanksgiving.


Here's Mom and Dad and their great grandchildren.  Poor Olive was picking her nose and I didn't realize it, but it makes for good memories.




We had basketball, scooters, board games, a program and lots of yummy food.  They later used these scooters to play human Hungry Hungry Hippos. 


This is our no distraction basket Mark set up.  Reagan thought it was so we could pick out a new free phone.


We barricaded the hallways so we would only have to clean part of the church afterward.  Liam was disappointed because he was planning on using the church as his personal spy game.  


This is his sign he made for the game.





Daniel brought his awesome Karaoke machine that has lots of settings to change your voice.  It was a pretty nice setup! 








Board games at all the tables.



I had a photo session with the Rosses and I had to show this picture.  We were in a field and this cow did not like us being in his territory.  He kept coming up and sniffing them and licking Daniel.  After a while, he started snorting and pawing the ground, so we decided it was time for us to leave him in peace.


We also cut down our Christmas tree again this year.  While we were walking around, looking for the perfect tree, Owen found "a stick" sticking out of the snow.  He picked it up and it was a Mule deer skull.  Oh my!  That was the most wonderful find he could have imagined.  He even found a little bit of blood left on it, which made it even more special.  Reagan didn't want to leave until she found her a skull too, but alas, we left with only one dead animal head.  I promised Owen it could be the star on our tree that year.


All the kids had fun, the had snowball fights and we had cookies and Reagan and Owen got cold and sat in the car with Grandma for a while.
