Tis' the Season to be Thankful

If there's anything better than a good Thanksgiving dinner, it's Thanksgiving dinner with family. And I mean FAMILY! We had a mini family reunion in Idaho this last weekend. Almost everyone was able to come. We were only missing Steve and Becca's husband, Jerran. (One of these days we'll be able to get everyone together at the same time.)

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner complete with turkey and ham (compliments of Grandma) and ate at "The Center" in Blackfoot. We decided there just wasn't enough space in Grandma's house for all 19 of us. The food was wonderful and we all ate until we were ready to burst...then we had pie.

The next day was just as full of food and family as the day before. We went to Lava Hot Springs with Grandpa and Grandma Joye and ate ourselves silly once again. They had rented the gymnasium of the elementary school and we had all sorts of room for kids to ride, run, bike, and swing around. Amazingly enough, no one got hurt...at least seriously. Ian, Daniel, and Andy all showed off their strength and took turns climbing the rope. When was the last time you were able to do that? Me? Never.

I think the biggest entertainment of the weekend was the wiggle-cars! As you can see, they were enjoyed by young and old:















Happy Thanksgiving Jones family! We love you!
