Turkey Day

Thanksgiving break was a whirlwind of food and fun! We had our best Thanksgiving weather ever for our drive to Utah and back. We must have broken our "get stuck in Rawlin's" curse somehow! We always have the blessing of eating two Thanksgiving dinners with all of our favorite people.

Turkey Bowl with the Hansen cousins was so much fun that they did it again on Friday!

I don't know how the Hansen's find seats for everyone, but they always do. We had a very enjoyable evening with all of the best things. Good conversation, games, and cousins.

These kids had a blast playing the gossip/pictionary game. Still not sure what to call it, but it is so funny.

I didn't get any pictures of the dinner at the Hemmert's, but that meal was splendid as well! Dad's gravy was the best yet!!! Friday afternoon we had a fun Hansen activity at Brad and Chelsa's church. We stuffed teddy bears, made cards, played games, and ate good food. The best part was when Grandpa Santa showed up! I need to get pictures from someone!

Saturday morning we went to Brick Oven Pizza as a pre-game lunch and to celebrate Grandma Joyce's 65th birthday!

We got lot's of baby love! Two cuties!

Mara just can't get enough of the babies. We wish we lived closer!

After lunch we surprised Grandma with a few special songs just for her. The kid sang "I wish every child in the whole wide world had a grandmother just like you."

The grown up kids had a "Hemmert Family Singers" reunion and sang "Let's Go Fly a Kite." Coordinated outfits and all. It was pretty funny. I think Mom enjoyed it.

The best part of all was when Dad sang their special song "More." I don't think there was a dry eye. It was one of the sweetest things we have ever seen.

We came home on Sunday tired but full to the brim and overflowing. It helped that BYU won the big game too and some of us got to witness it in person. :)
