Thanksgiving was so wonderful this year! We celebrated with Aaron's side of the family. My sister-in-law Teresa reserved her church in Draper. All of Aaron's immediate family came (Aaron, his parents, his brother, and all 7 of his sisters). This was huge! Aaron's family is scattered in Idaho, Arizona, and California. The last time we were able to get everyone together was 9 years ago for Kent and LouJean's 50th wedding anniversary.
Our dinner was amazing! So much yummy food. I wish I would have taken a picture.
Following dinner, we made crafts and decorations. Usually we exchange family gifts with Aaron's siblings, but this year we decided to decorate a tree and donate it to a family in need. -I absolutely loved this! I think we need to make it a new tradition.
We cleaned up our mess, then we had a little Christmas party. Each family bought $5 gifts for each of their children, then Kent and LouJean passed them out.
We had family pictures done!
What is Thanksgiving without cousin sleepovers?
Andrew slept over at Teresa's house, and we had a couple extra girls at our house. Abby had Jessie sleep over and Bree had Oakley sleep over.
I think they were just a little worn out from the events in the day. What do you think?
