We Had a Wonderful Day!

Today we were able to celebrate Thanksgiving with almost all of my family, minus two nephews and a wife and daughter of one of them. We missed you Elder Julian, James, Tabitha and of course Olivia!
My mom wanted to make sure that we all had pictures taken with everyone as well (thanks Kirk), it is often very far between visits that we all get together. It was really a wonderful day with everyone! The kids enjoyed playing football and tag outside and the adults loved visiting and playing our game of cards (shanghi) while being incredibly silly and singing lots of songs way off key!
I love being all together.


Max is always so concerned with Grandpa, he is always helping him along.
Where ever Grandpa is you can find Max.

The five girls, Mom and Dad

Uh Oh it looks like Max is getting away.
My cute kiddos in their BYU gettup with Grandma and Grandpa.
(you gotta love Sydney and Tyler's grass stained knees.)

The whole group! We had fun dressing up in our favorite sport teams. We of course had the BYU gear on. Andrea's family had ASU gear, Leslie's family had their Denver Broncos stuff on. Stacey's family had on Wyoming colors (I don't blame them for not wanting to buy the Wyoming sweatshirts, yellow and brown sweatshirts..oh gross!) and Tara in Blue.
Jason and Jonni

Jackson is always the funnest with the grandkids. Here he is spinning Kymber.

Kalli and Kymber...Best Buddies!

Let's guess, who is the one with the ATTITUDE!!! Could that be Sydney?

Here is my mom making her famous rolls, seriously they are the best and always have been! And of course cleaning as she goes along.
Jackson gives the BEST hugs!

Not sure why Abby and Sydney have Ellie tied up. Hmm I wonder who's idea this could have been???

What a wonderful day and time of year. Now lets see if I can go and do some damage at Target and the mall bright and early tomorrow morning.
Happy Shopping!

It was wonderful to see your whole family together. What a great Thanksgiving you had!. I love blogs-they are such a blessing,I almost feel as if I were there with you on Thanksgoiving. Brings back wonderful memories of many Christmas dinners together with all of the Nelson relatives.
Your Dad looks good and I know he was having a great time with all of you girls and your families there to support him. There is nothing that take the place of family!

I love the fact that Syd always has the innocent look on her face, but you can always seem to see the lil devils jumping up and down in her eyes!

I love your whole family picture and your Kerby family picture...what a beautiful family. The picture of your parents and the 5 girls...what great smiles you all have! It sounded fun with everyone wearing their favorite team outfits, what a great idea. Glad you had a great Thanksgiving.
