Thanksgiving with FAMILY!

It takes weeks of preparation to pull off a successful Thanksgiving dinner. This year we were lucky to have all of Jason's siblings and their families join us!

We wanted to make it special so it required some serious pre-baking...

Some serious house scrubbing and cleaning..

This made me laugh so hard, Savvy hates taking out the trash but she did it with some nose plugs!

We set up a craft station for all of the little kids while we prepared Thanksgiving dinner...

Aunt Rachel brought stuff for a totally cute turkey craft!

Our smorgasbord of pre-dinner food...

See how entertained these cute kids are? Thank goodness for crafts!

The boys went to a nearby park for some fun turkey football!

Love Uncle Hyrum's new do!

Little Gavin adores his cousin Logan and Logan adores Gavin. They were never separate during the few days they were here. It was pretty darn cute!

Uncle Doug with Liam-

Sister in law Anne, Jason's cousin Brittany, me, sister in laws, Laura and Rachel...

I love these women!

Movie time...

Little kids table...

This was my favorite part of the table decorations...I had everyone tell me 4 things they were thankful for and pasted the list to twine and had it in the middle of the table. It was fun to read while we chatted over dinner!

Uncle Hyrum loves to cook and assisted me with our favorite part of the meal...

the cauliflower/brussel sprout small piece of Heaven salad... Even my kids couldn't get enough of it!

Butternut squash soup was amazing as well!

Jason cutting the turkey, he was all in character with his chef vest on!

Ashley knowing how she will feel soon!

FULL!

Everyone!

My girls...

It was such a perfect day! I loved every minute of it...the loudness of people chatting, kids playing, dishes being prepared... I am so thankful for FAMILY!
