Thanksgiving 2008

We got to spend Thanksgiving in California this year, with Tim's whole family. We don't get to see much of each other so it was really special, especially for the kids.....Peyton still tells us that when we are done living in Utah we are moving to Virginia to live by his cousins. He misses them and is always begging us to let him call and talk to them. Problem is that he doesn't ever want the conversation to end......which is complete torture for his cousins! But he does love his cousins! This is a collage that Sharon and I had my sis Tina make for us from a little photo shoot we had in Cali. Alanna is always saying that all she wants for Christmas from us is picts......so this is what we came up with. I think it turned out so cute. It was a little tricky getting all 7 kids out at the same time semi color coordinated, without having Grandma or Grandpa knowing what the heck was going on. We tried to tell grandma that the kids were hungry so we asked her to make lunch.....then we very sneakily took them outside.

Then we changed it up to send the rest of the cousins. Thanks Tina!
Enjoying a little sun at the park!


Fun in Papa Kelly's hot tub! Every spare second Peyton had, he was trying to coax one of his cousins to get in with him.
Uncle Dan and Aunt Jill had Thanksgiving for us ALL this year. It all turned out so nice, they had to move dinner out to the garage so we could fit everyone. They really spent a lot of time decorating and cooking and it was GREAT! Thanks for having us!

Hunter family get together. We are starting to get quite the little crew!



This was on the way back from the Hunter party in San Francisco. Peyton wanted to ride with the girls.....little did he know they were going to poop out and that their car DIDN'T have a DVD player! heee heee Life is rough;)


We got the chance to take the kids....(all but Addi, who stayed home for a grandma day;) to the zoo in San Francisco.









Cousin Christmas gift exchange.


The End.
