Thanksgiving Holiday 2008

How wonderful to have the entire family be together. Ryan, Jonna, Darin, Pauli, and Camille surrounding us. We are in a secluded camping area just as the sun is setting.

Family Thanksgiving Party at Sante Fe in St. George

There were 32 of us. WOW! What a gathering. We didn't run out of food either. Danielle decorated the cute tables and we enjoyed the delicious food. We missed the homemade rolls though. Maybe next time!

Kyle, Tana, Jonna, Brandon. How much fun is it to be together and enjoy talking, laughing and playing. Tana and Eric arrived by air late on Wed. Yeah! We would have missed them. Kyle just made it back from boot camp. We appreciated the Army getting finished with his initial training in time for our family gathering.

Danielle, Pauli, and Joy doing a bit of cleaning up. We are full and happy.

Some of us had fun playing pool. Brayden wanted to play, but Grandma said, "no way!"

Ryan was a good sport and went swimming with Brayden and Cooper. Mitch and Connor were there to cause water fights with the noodles until they got tired which was about 30 minutes long. No one got hurt badly, but their skin looked pretty red. Brooke was there too, but she avoided the boys.

Here they are just waiting for something to happen, like when will dinner be ready?
