Thanksgiving 2014

 
We spent Thanksgiving in St. George with Geoff's side of the family. We had so much fun and like always the time went by way too fast. I was in charge of the place settings. The theme for the kids' table was based off of The Charlie Brown Thanksgiving movie. In the movie Snoopy serves popcorn, jelly beans, toast and pretzels for Thanksgiving dinner. 
 
                           
Geoff's mom outdid herself with the Thanksgiving dinner. There was so much to choose from and it was all delicious. Unfortunately, we forgot to take a picture of all of the adults at the table.  This year we had two of Geoff's brothers and their families, Geoff's parents, his aunt and uncle, and one of his cousins. 

 
I put together a Thanksgiving play for the kids. They all loved acting it out and they did a great job!

                           
 
After dinner we visited, played some games in the backyard and then Geoff put on a movie for the kids in his parent's garage. They all loved it and kept begging to watch more movies. The next day the girls went Black Friday shopping while the guys went target shooting.
 


 We spent our last day hiking the red rocks. It was a perfect day for it, the weather was beautiful.

 
We stayed at a hotel and the kids loved it.

 
We stopped in Vegas for a night and stayed at the Excalibur. We let the kids play in the arcade, checked out the new Hershey's Chocolate World and bumped into Santa for a quick picture. :)

Thanksgiving 2013

This year Jadi's family was in town visiting for Thanksgiving. 


We had a family home evening and wrote down some of the things we are thankful for on leaves.  Grandma and Kaden hung them up for decorations on Thanksgiving day.

 The girls prepared a cute talent show for us.

Thanksgiving 2008

I took lots of pictures before Thanksgiving dinner and then got so busy preparing and serving the food that I forgot to take any pictures of the kids!  Anyway, this was one of the years we were living in Maryland.  We invited some of our good friends over to celebrate with us.

Thanksgiving Breakfast & Turkey Pit


 Another amazing family on our street hosts an annual Thanksgiving morning breakfast. There is also a fun run before the breakfast for those who want to participate.






Another family on our street has a big pit in their backyard. Every year they cook several turkeys in it overnight. They take them out on Thanksgiving morning. 
This method makes the BEST turkeys.
