Thanksgiving

Angela, Ryan, Kathleen, Cody and Brandon came for Thanksgiving week.  We had so much fun!

 Cody took this photo with my phone. I thought it was so cute that he did it on his own!

 Sunday night we had a dessert buffet:

 Monday night the Elders came over for Family Night:

 Bradley put in a movie for all the kids and popped popcorn for them.

We played Apples to Apples. Kathleen won the crown last time so she got to wear it while we played.

Some of the grandkids are now big enough to play.  That's Faith playing. Brandon played as well.

Ruthanne won the crown!

 Tuesday night, Ruthanne baked cookies with all the kiddies:

Dad and Angela decided our refrigerator wasn't big enough so we bought a new one.  The problem is that it didn't fit in our kitchen so Dad and Angela had to tear out cabinets, the day before Thanksgiving.

 Wednesday night we all went to Applebee's. 

Newly engaged Emily showed us her ring:

 This is blurred but if you look real close, you can see "family tree,"  so I had to post it anyway.

 All of us who were home.  We missed you Jared, Heidi, Xander, Clayton and Alyssa:

Thanksgiving evening, we felt bad that Jonathan had to work so we (Dad, Tanner, (his friend) Amanda, Kaylee and me) went to the theater to be with him. We thought that he wouldn't be able to get us in on Thanksgiving night because it would be too packed, but it turned out, there wasn't another person in the theater so Jonathan switched it from regular to 3D just for us.  It was amazing! Thanks Jonathan.

 

 That is Tanner in the hoodie. Big tree.
