We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving Day! Ryan and I celebrated Thanksgiving in Utah with my family. Our day was a lot of fun. Ryan flew in that day (hurray) so I picked him up from the airport. We got to Morgan just in time for Ryan to finish playing some FOOTBALL with some of my cousins and aunts and uncles.
They played out back of my parents house in the field. (The dairy farm is directly behind them.)

Ready for the hike.
Ryan playing quarterback. It helps that he is so much taller than everyone:) I love Ryan's physical attributes and skills. (In church today my aunt commented on Ryan's singing skills. I think it was a surprise that he has some really good singing talent, since my family isn't known for any singing talents at all!)
THANKSGIVING DINNER
Here is the little kid table. Carissa, Adyson, and Landon. I think my parents were feeling a little old since they were the only ones of my mom's siblings that had any grandkids there. And our baby is #5 for them.
Everyone sitting down to dinner in my parents great room. We had about 42 people total. It was a good turn out.
Here is my family at dinner, with 2 of my cousins. Some how we all ended up at the same table in the dining room.
After dinner and conversation we played GAMES. We had 3 different tables of Scum going on. The we played a couple large group games: Mafia and the Name Game.
BLACK FRIDAY
On Friday, Ryan and I went to Logan to see Grandma and Grandpa Parkinson. We also saw Nancy and Brandon and their kids, and Spencer and Gayle. It was good to see them and we're glad we made the trip even though it wasn't very long.
Here is a picture of the sunset on Friday night coming through Sardine canyon.
On our way home from Logan we stopped in Brigham City and had dinner at Maddox with my friends Kristan Jo and Kami. It's always good to see them.
Finally, we met my parents and my sister and her husband at the Theater in Ogden to see HARRY POTTER 7, part 1. We liked the movie but think that there is still a lot that needs to happen and hope the next movie can have enough time to wrap it all up.
On Saturday, Ryan and I did some Christmas SHOPPING so we won't have to mail presents to everyone. Today, Sunday, we went to church, had a family dinner, made Ady a dance tutu and played the Wii. Ryan and Adam are having another show-down on the Wii right now.
I also took some great video today:) I was recording Ady in her new dance outfit doing her dance while Adam, Kasey and Ryan were playing the Wii in the background. The video is hilarious, just watch the background players to see what I mean!

Anyway, Ady was upset her dance video got messed up, but we all think it's great we got the Wii incident on video. Just goes to show that video games can be dangerous! (at least if you play with my sister)
Well, we hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving Holiday. I know we have!
