Thanksgiving this year was a blast. It was a little smaller than usual- only around 90 people. I know that sounds like a lot, but when there are 200 people in the family, 90 is a small group! We first went to Logandale and then met up with Peter's brothers' families in St. George. We didn't get to spend much time there unfortunately, but the kids had fun playing with their cousins. 
We stayed at Penny's, and like always, it was a party every night. I love being at Penny's house. In some ways it's like a second home to me since I lived there when I was in college.
Thursday morning we met at the church for breakfast. The kids ran around like wild animals and had fun climbing on Tibi.
Later we stopped by Walmart to pick up a game to play at Penny's. 
I didn't get any pictures of dinner because I was too busy eating! But I did get a picture of Tibi hard at work doing the dishes. In our family, the teenagers do the dishes after Thanksgiving Dinner. It's nice not being a teenager anymore!
That evening for Family Night, we learned about our Scottish ancestors, the Campbells. It was really interesting. I love hearing family history stories. Eden got chosen to pick the closing song, and even got to sing in the mike. She loved the attention.
Here's a picture of the band:
Friday morning we all met back at Uncle Bob's again because it was too cold to go hiking. Chad and Lauren planned a cute little treasure hunt for the little ones. The kids found all sorts of cute little toys in the bushes and grass. 
Here's Jonah with one of his treasures!
Hanging out...
Friday night was Silly Song Night! I got video of the whole program, but didn't get any still shots. It took forever to upload this video, so this is all you get! (Anyone know an easy way to upload to You Tube?)
And of course, we did some dancing later. I love seeing the uncles get up and dance!
Eden cozied up to Uncle Bob for most of the night.
And then back at Penny's, we played a bunch of games, including a finger-breaking game of Spoons. It was a great weekend! Freezing, but great!

90 people?!? I'm so jealous. It sounds like such a great weekend. I love seeing kids with their cousins. You look beautiful in that picture of you and Jonah.
Great pictures Connie! I can't help but laugh everytime I watch that stupid video. We really did rock! It would have been even better with Lexie and Kira.
