Nov. 23rd-27th

Kenny's parents were kind enough to rent a house in Garden City, UT at Bear Lake. We are getting too big to go anywhere else, but with over 30 people in a house, it's still a little crowded :). We had a great time with everybody. There were lots of activities! Some are pictured below, others are not. We had a photographer come out and we got family pictures taken, with everyone except Kenny's youngest brother Mike, who's on a mission. Thanksgiving seemed to come and go all too quickly, sort of like any other meal. But we did have a great discussion that night and everyone went around and said something(s) they were thankful for. I sure am grateful for such wonderful families on both sides. We have so many many people who love and support us, and we love them too. Big families rock! We also did some Christmas celebrating: a white elephant game, presents from grandparents to grandkids, acted out the nativity scene, built gingerbread houses, etc. There was a huge movie theater room that the kids really enjoyed, a pool table, a hot tub, and lots of games and just visiting. They went sledding twice, I didn't go either time. But Kenny took Ty and Bryn the first day, and just Tyler the second time. They rented a snowmobile one day, and the boys had a lot of fun with that.

Sunday, we went to a sacrament meeting there at 9, packed and cleaned and were gone around 2 p.m. From there we headed down to Mt. Green, UT and stayed with Chris (Kenny's bro.) and Stacie. To be continued again...
