Thanksgiving

    We spent Thanksgiving here in Utah with my side of the family. With so many of us living here in Utah- no one has a house that could accommodate all of us without feeling way cramped. We should seriously start having get togethers at the church! So that being said...This year the Leatham family was a house divided.  My sister Laura and my brother Bob, and their families came to my home for the festivities. We had a great time. Tons of food- everything a Thanksgiving dinner is and then some- the pies were awesome! YUM! It was so fun to sit around and talk and play games while the kids ran around, inside and outside. They watched movies, played wii games and those cute little boy cousins followed Ethan and Jake around while they were shootin' their sling shots. It was so nice to have the cute girl cousins follow Will around and keep him entertained. I actually got to play a game! It was a really good Thanksgiving- everyone happy and enjoying themselves- no stress- and even a good prank made it's way into the day.

The "grown-up' table. Nothing fancy. Simple. 

The kids table. I found the cutest table cloth that had activities printed all over for the kids to be entertained while final preparations were being made. The kids loved it and kept them busy.

Poor Bob! Just after he had filled his plate and sat down, Cole had a blow out diaper. So while he was off changing it, we took advantage of swapping out his dinner for a bowl of Lemon jello. My mom has made this salad every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas for as long as I can remember. I don't mind the salad-I still like it. As for Bob, he hates it! So after talking with Laura the night before, we devised a plan to make him his own mini salad. It just happened so perfectly. What a good baby Cole was to help out with the execution. 

Games!

Great cousins!

After all the fun and festivities, Laura and I went out and had some fun Black friday shopping. We found some great deals and were back home by midnight. It really was a great Thanksgiving!
