Thanksgiving 2014


  Thanksgiving day 2014.  It was a great one.  We started the day off with the Turkey Trot.  Already posted about that.  After that, we went to my sister Michelle's house for dinner and partying.  She really can't be related to me because she is such a good party host and party planner.  We had all the family there.   All her family was there, except for Mitchell. He is still on his mission to Columbia.  He will be home in 21 days.  Mark prayed that we could survive the next 21 days and for day 22 when he is home.  Serious.  So that brings me to Mark's family that was there.  They were all there.  They don't have any missionaries yet and Grace goes to school in Utah.  I think it was their year off for Paula's family.  All of my family was there.  Including my children's father.  He just gets in the car...post for another day.  And my parents were both there.  

We had a yummy dinner of turkey of course.  Mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, rolls, yams, stuffing, Mexi Dip, cheese balls, Swigs cookies, and more.  Michelle did a fabulous spread.
We also played the traditional Thanksgiving Bingo.   Grandpa brings his Bingo game, and has fabulous prizes,  similar to the leaf hunt prizes.  Super fun activity to play on thanksgiving.  Michelle also had some thanksgiving hats to make and wear.  That was fun too.  

Mark sent me a text saying that he thought today was a 10.  It really was.  Everyone seemed to stay around and not be anxious to visit the other family and not appear like they are obligated to come.

Love them so much.
