Darin's mom and dad are going to be enjoying their official Thanksgiving feast in Massachusetts this year, so we decided those of us in Utah should get together and eat good food together a little early. We had a great time with them, Mike and Jill, and all the kids. And I won't complain about eating Thanksgiving dinner twice, either!
 |
| "Acorns" that Matthew, Jacob and I made. They were a hit. |
 |
| The kid table. In the sunroom. With the door locked. Ahh, peace. |
 |
| Jacob helped me make these cute napkin rings for the kids. They made great finger puppets later, too. |
 |
| Yum, yum! Glad Jill brought delish Lion House Rolls. I think the boys ate nothing but rolls and acorns. |
 |
| The adult table. Inside. Where it's quiet. |
 |
| As Darin put it, "The maiden voyage on our wedding china." After 16 years of marriage, I think it was about time we brought it out, don't you? |
 |
| Hot tub party - Darin throws a ball, some kids jump for it, others get drenched, all have fun. |
 |
| Dancing off that turkey and stuffing playing Just Dance on the Wii |
 |
| Work it, girls! Even Grandma Lynette got in on the action! |
 |
| And the boys joined in, too. I must say they were very entertaining dancers! |
While the kids and ladies were dancing their hearts out, the men went to the store to look at electronics. So they had a good time, too. After we had sufficiently digested dinner, we broke out Lynette's awesome pies. Sooo good! Thanks Mike and Jill and Dave and Lynette for all the delicious food and fun company! Living close to family isn't bad. Not bad at all!

Waaaaa! I'm so sad I couldn't be there, but so glad you guys had a blast. Your home is looking gorgeous!
Wonderful idea. I could use a Thanksgiving dinner once a week or so. I'm very sad I couldn't be there, I definitely would have enjoyed that hot-tub ball game.
looks like fun. Thanks for the little peak of your new house....I want more!!!
Those acorns are awesome. This whole evening looked like so much fun. Wii dance is one of my favorite activities- eating turkey being another. :)
Also, I'm very glad to know you have a hot tub. I will be over with my suit and towel, as soon as I figure out where you live...
That hot tub ball game reminds me of trampoline dodge ball. So fun! Kim, you are the queen of cute little Thanksgiving treats. Wish we could have been there!
Such a fun afternoon. Kim, thanks for always being so willing to welcome us and our crazy kids into your home. Did I mention how happy I am that you guys moved here! I love it!
Food was so good too!
It was a lovely meal and an awesome day. I will echo Jill's sentiments--we're so glad you are here. And I'm going to learn all of the wii dance moves!
I'm sad we couldn't join in on the festivities. It looks like a lot of fun!
I almost thought I saw Thomas in that hot tub! Looks like the Dickey's are doing well, give everyone a hug from us.
