Cristal made these lovely pilgram hats for the kids. Taylor promptly climbed his little self up on the table so he could help himself to one (or two!) I think he's too little to do this, but he doesn't share that opinion.
Grandma and her finished turkey. She's the best cook around. And the best host--giving up her own bedroom and never sitting or resting, just making sure everybody is fed and happy. She is very selfless. Wish I could be more like her.
My handsome husband. And one of the things I'm most thankful for!
The big kid's table!
Taylor gobbling up Thanksgiving dinner. The 12 layer rainbow jello I made was a hit. He had several helpings as did Abby and most of the other kids. Mom said I have to make 2 pans of it next time. I don't think so.
Dad & Mom. Dad wore his Irish rugby shirt and hat he picked up on their summer cruise.And here are my 4 brothers and their wives...I realized when posting this I should have had a picture of Tige & me too. Oh well.
After dinner Cristal had games for the kids like "pin the football on the goalpost." Kason kept trying til he got it in the middle of the goal post.
Clark's new baby
and Andy's new baby
Abby insisted on sharing her ice cream and pie with Ryan. First she set it on his plate, then she started putting it right in his mouth. So cute.
We also went and played at dad's elementary school and went swimming in the new aquatics center in Cedar City. The kids had a fabulous time swimming together!
Taylor sure has a big smile on his face!
3 best friends!
We topped off the weekend with Kason's baptism on Saturday. I am a lucky girl with much to be thankful for. Especially for my husband and my precious kids. I have 2 cousins battling health problems with their kids these past few weeks. Ali's little girl had a large tumor on her spineand brain stem removed and has been in and out of PICU with surgeries and infections and therapy to try and regain use of her left arm. And Ryan's newborn baby has been in surgery and the NICU wih bowel issues. They have both been in our thoughts and prayers and has made me even more thankful for my healthy kids and for the many, many blessings I have.
