Thanksgiving in Utah

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving and I always look forward to spending time with family. We have tried to teach Andrew this month about being thankful and not sure how much has really sunk in. But it has been a great month to reflect upon the many blessings we have.

My oldest sister Melinda hosted this year and it was absolutely beautiful and she went all out and thought of every little detail. I wish I'd gotten a picture of all the cute treats she had made for the table decor and name tags...they were darling. The weather was perfectly warm and the food was delicious. We stuffed ourselves and spent lots of time looking at the black Friday ads. Yet, surprisingly nobody went out...did most of our black Friday shopping online this year.

Here's our Thanksgiving Day in Pictures!

 Jeff's annual deep frying the Turkey picture... This is HIS yearly tradition  and it's always so yummy!

  A little pumpkin bowling with the little ones!

The Not-So-Little Little Kids Table

 Playing a little "I  Spy" with cousins while we wait for our Thanksgiving Feast!

Andrew even convinced a few of the cousins to walk him around. He loved it and everyone who helped him walk were instant friends with this kid! 

The little kids coloring with their turkey crayons at the little kids table. So fun to have cousins the same age!

 Playing a little football game outside


Even Grandpa got in on some football action!


Cousin Michael let Andrew "drive" the blue truck, which Andrew could have done for hours and asked  to hold the keys as soon as he got out. This kid LOVEs anything with keys and wheels.  

Had to get a picture in front of the truck. Growing up this was my Grandpa Dent's 1968 Chevy Truck, which now my oldest nephew has restored and painted it bright blue. Lots of memories playing in that truck when I was little. 


We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with so much to be thankful for. So grateful to be able to spend it with my family.
