THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY IN AZ

We had a great time visiting with family in Arizona this Thanksgiving. The boys loved playing in my grandparent's backyard. Jonah had fun with their chicken and would feed it pancakes left over from breakfast. The chicken also took a liking to Jonah but always ran away whenever big brother Ethan came near it. I wonder why???






If I were a chicken I too would run away if I saw this coming towards me.




Bryant had fun exploring and even found a gecko. I don't think Grandma was as excited as Bryant was about the little critter.







When the Thanksgiving dinner was underway we all did what we could to help out Grandma in the kitchen. The turkey turned out superb this year! Just ask my Dad, who made sure he got the first helping. The olives were a big hit with Ethan. That was about all we could get him to eat, though (picky eater).






After all that could be eaten was eaten (and then some) we broke out the games. About half of us played Ticket to Ride while the other half played the Wii American Idol....all the while stuffing our faces with about ten different kids of pie. The kids had fun getting rides on the tractor out back.






....and when all was said and done, G & G took a little breather.

Wow. looks like fun. only in AZ could you have Thanksgiving outside! Sounds good right now, since I'm bundled up in 20 sweaters and 2 pairs of socks with 10 spaceheaters going!

Thanks for all of the fun pictures! It brings back good memories of coming to Mac & Tyra's house for Thanksgiving about 12 years ago & spending time with all of you! Hope your all doing good! What a cute family. Love Aunt Kathy (Utah)
