This Thanksgiving my side of the family all met up in Sundance and stayed in cabin for Thanksgiving. We had so much fun. There was tons of food. We were all supposed to bring snacks and it was funny that we all pretty much brought the same things. We made many memories. We started a tradition last year of playing family Jeporady. Erin and Joe were in charge and they came up with questions from the year. We have a few competitive people in the family (John) but it was all in good fun. The boys won this year and reveled in it. The girls were the winners last year. We have to iron out a few rules but it is something we all looked forward too. Note to self, make sure and read each others blogs carefully before the next game. We mostly stayed inside and the kids played game after game after game. We also decided that this year we would do a service project. We made quilts for the convalescent home that my grandma lived at. For our Christmas present exchange we decided to do family preparedness gifts. our family got the big 50 gallon water barrel, some got sanitation stations and mom and dad got a generator. Of course it would never be a get together if someone didn't get sick. Josy started it off, followed by Andrew, Bella, Carter and Courtney. It was a lot of fun and we loved every minute. I love to spend time with family and make memories. thanks mom and dad for making it all happen, you are the best! Scroll down for more posts from the last few weeks.
Every year we get pjs from grammie and poppa. They boys loved theirs.
Andrew was the game man. He loved the fact that his dad was sitting and playing with him.

Decorating the lap quilts for the convalescent home.
Friday we decided to venture out and try to go on a hike. Try being the operative word. No luck and we had a few grumpy kids. But it was nice to be outside
The hill was slick but the kids were determined to get up it and they did pretty good.
No Christmas is complete without nerf guns. These were purchased for the big boys but all the boys and girls loved them. Nothing like watching a bunch of grown boys play shoot im up. Good times!
