Thanksgiving 2012

We drove to Utah for Thanksgiving.

Everyone wrote down what they are thankful for on a leaf to put on the “Thankful Tree.”

Lily had to concentrate really hard on hers. Smile

We ate at my sister Sharlie’s house. Everyone in the family was able to make it except for Justin who is away at college playing B-Ball like a champ.

A little pre-dinner scrimmage. Lily had no idea what she was doing, but loved being outside with her cousins all the same.

My brother Jeff is not capable of taking a nice picture – this is the best I got. Nice.

The fun continued that night at the Chapman’s. The girls love having all the cousins to play with when we visit Utah.

The next day we played an exciting game of Bingo, complete with prizes thanks to Nina!

Poor Elise was having the hardest time getting BINGO even though she stuck it out longer than any other kid. Jason started just calling out the numbers she needed so she could get BINGO.

Jaycee supervised the caller, making sure he said the right numbers.

The tire swings

My family has had these swings for as long as I can remember. My Dad has cut and replaced the tires throughout the years and all the kids love these swings.

Playing piano with Grandma Nina. Oh how I wish we lived closer to her so she could teach Lily how to play.
