Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving most of my family came to Utah. The ones that weren't able to spend it with us were John and his two boys, Amy, Jessica, and Kara and Adam. Melanie, Ben, and their three kids even came from Arizona! It was so fun. Since our main floor doesn't hold big groups well at all, we had dinner in our garage. It was PERFECT! We just left the door open leading in to the house and turned on two space heaters. My mom threw in her touch and tried to dress it up a bit. I thought it looked great, and we weren't all crammed. I loved hosting it. Ben and Dad carving

Mom and Melanie spent a lot of time the day before preparing food so their wasn't too much to be done on Thanksgiving.

Addysin only ate rolls. Typical. She is the WORST eater and wont ever try something new.

We had seven layer salad, green bean casserole, strawberry pretzel salad, butternut squash, turkey, maple glazed ham, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, sweet potato casserole, home made rolls, and probably 10 pies! Coconut cream, banana cream, pumpkin, triple berry, pecan, and apple. Wow, it was so good!

While Chris, Daryl, Joanna, and I played a long game the family took the kids on a walk.

Ashley, Caiden, and Evelyn (Daryl Kelly's little girl).

Sara, Dad, Melanie.

Crammed. Kailey, Amelia, and Addysin. It must have been cozy because Addysin fell asleep.

Holidays are so fun to spend with family and friends and I'm so grateful we had so many to spend Thanksgiving with.
