Thanksgiving holiday 2010

 It all started on Wednesday evening with Moss and Christie providing an authentic McRib dinner at our house for us and the out of town arrivals...mmm good!  The Thanksgiving feast took place at our house with everybody contributing to the goodness.  We had 30 here...only Supe was missing this year.  Since there were too many to fit in the dining area, the older kiddies had their own little table in one of the bedrooms.  After the delicious feast, we loaded everyone up and headed to the Red Hills Golf Course where Derek and Brynn worked on getting a whole family picture and some individual family pictures.  The sun was out, but I don't think it was what you would call warm.  We got a little bit of walking in which felt good after all that good food.  After that we were ready to come back and warm up and sing happy birthday to Brynnli, Noah and Paul over one of the pies.  Visiting, game playing, more eating, and Christie and Brynn and Derek planning their Black Friday shopping strategies were other activities of the day.  Friday some of us took a little hike in Snow Canyon.  It was beautiful weather and beautiful scenery.  More eating and game playing.  Saturday some of the men worked on Moss and Christie's gate and kept kids occupied while some women hit Santa's Workshop at the Dixie Center.  After that was the BYU/Utah football game and then Juge made us some delicious taquitos she claims are "heart healthy."  We were all just glad for a break from left overs.  More games and visiting.  Sunday morning's weather got us busy getting the out-of-towners on their way hoping to beat the storm or at least get home before dark.  What a great few days it has been.  Thanks to everyone for making the effort to come, bring food, host, and take and sit through the family photo session.  We are so thankful to have such a wonderful family and to have the chance to spend time together.  Thanks for making our Thanksgiving a great one!
