What do you get when you cram 32 people into a small house in the middle of nowhere? A Big Weston Family Party!! We had so much fun seeing everyone and there were lots of fun activities planned. Thursday was, of course, the big Thanksgiving feast. That night most of us went and played basketball at the school's gym. Friday we did some early morning shopping and got some great deals. We got most of our Christmas shopping taken care of, and got a bigger carseat for Bryn since she will be turning around soon. Among other things we did gingerbread houses, decoratd sugar-cookies to deliver to other families, painted our own t-shirts and took family pictures in them, pinata, football games, had a pro take a big family picutre of us, and lots more. We also did our christmas party early since we won't be going back over there, and since Amanda's about to have her baby. that included a nativity scene, white elephant, and gift exchange. We had so much fun! We love spending time with family and that is why we sacrifice a lot of money and go through all the stress of driving ridiculous periods of time on no sleep so we can be with them. Here's some pictures from our time there.
ty really loved the shirt-painting. He got a little carried away once he realized he could use his hands instead of a brush on his shirt.
The same face when they're concentrating. I love it.
Ty and his best buddy-cousin, Josh. They have powdered sugar all over their faces from the donut-on-a-string competition.
Kenny, Rick, and Chris, had a try at the donut contest too. kenny won!!
The only way to keep her happy sometimes is to let her swing around upside down. Crazy girl.
Tyler was the one who finally broke the pinata and we caught it all on tape. It's pretty cool.
The nativity scene went much better this year for Tyler. He loved participating and giving a gift to baby Jesus.
Saturday night we left around 9:30 and drove through the night and got back home late Sunday. We were all SO sick of the car by the time we got home. glad to be back.
the end.
