November 2009: Thanksgiving



We spent Thanksgiving in Arizona with my family and also got to see Jerry and Kit who were there for a big family reunion. Every three years all of Kit's mother's siblings and their families get together for a huge family reunion at Thanksgiving time. They are such a close knit family. There are seven siblings and their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren that all get together. At least everyone that can come is there and it is quite the crowd! It's pretty amazing. It makes me realize how big our gatherings could be for my siblings and I about 40 years from now. You can see in the last picture below that we are already a pretty big group (37 of us) when we get together. We also said goodbye to my baby brother Jared(below with Elora at my sister, Beth's house where we had Thanksgiving). He left at the beginning of December to serve a mission in Johannesburg, South Africa. He has been there two months now and he's loving it!



We also managed to squeeze in a little time to visit some of our friends, the Ridgeways. Here's our kids with their kids and their two foster baby twins that were just tiny newborns when we moved
