Thanksgiving this year was at a stake center that Moss was able to reserve out in his area. It was a great building and we had a good turn out. We only missed Brady (he was working) and Gaige (he's on a mission in CA, and Bean was sick. We ended up with 43 family/friends of family. Tavin and Kennis brought friends that they know from college and Brynnli's boyfriend, Ryan also came. Grandma Kurtz came. (I wish we could have gotten a group pic, but by the time everyone got there, we were ready to eat!!! I just took table pictures instead.) Jay and Brynn and girls were able to come down and stayed with us which was really fun. They helped us set up and decorate. Brynn had some really cute things to make it look nice. Jay and Juge brought delicious turkeys, smoked and baked, and everyone else brought other wonderful food. We had PLENTY to eat. We used half of the big gym for eating and closed the door in the middle most of the way and had pickleball set up in the other half of the gym. We ate and visited and played some games. Lance tricked us all in Pit by keeping one of everything for a long while and then I finally got a corner with the bull anyway! It was pretty funny!
Other activities for the weekend included a fun morning walk over the the Desert Garden for me and Paul with Madi and Clara. Essie and Tahlia had spent the night with Eliza. We also went on a fun hike with Moss and Christie and kids to Glitter Mountain where we collected cool selenite rocks (Utah Ice/ gypsum). We also went over and hiked around to see the petroglyphs at Black Rocks. More fun was some family getting together at Moss and Christie's for Donuts and hot chocolate and another time we went out to the Alumni Creamery for ice cream...BRRR! On Saturday morning some family went to the Farmer's Market with Supe, Beacher and kids and played at the park playground. Afterwards people came to our house for visiting/eating left overs and cousin time. It was beautiful weather and we could even visit outside. It was a full, fun weekend!
