Thanksgiving Weekend

So my pictures are all out of order but here we go. The week before and during Thanksgiving was pretty busy. Jerry's sister Lacey and her family came out to visit after Joey, her husband, got back from Afghanistan. So we went to Edgewood the weekend before Thanksgiving to hang out with them on Saturday (yummy Indian food) and on Sunday at DeNae's house. However this picture is when they came up after Thanksgiving to spend a day and night with us. Misty's family too. So we had 6 adults and 10 kids from the ages 2-11. Here we are at the Dwan Light Sanctuary up at the United World College. It's where there are prism in the windows and it casts rainbows all over. It was a little overcast so we couldn't see many rainbows. But there was a little group of Mennonites singing folksy/bluegrass gospel songs. They sounded incredible with their harmonizing plus the acoustics in the Sanctuary. It was a little treat for us.
The day before we had some people from the branch and missionaries come eat Thanksgiving dinner with us. Very yummy food from them: homemade rolls and stuffing to die for, Pumpkin crisp. So good!

Tom with his cousin Lilly who I call Ramona Quimby. I swear she looks JUST LIKE HER!!! Check out the illustrations from the books! I am sad that Lacey and Joey have been away. Tom and Lilly should have grown up together, with us switching babysitting so they would be super close like Rachel and Larry were.

Me and my Kenny. I love this kid. He is so funny. Some things he said to me. "Jenn! You're my friend!" "Jenn, Rachel's favorite color is pink and MY favorite color is pink too!"

Oh...here is a bit of the rainbow at the Light Sanctuary. Rachel with Misty and Travis's son Aaron. Watch for him popping into other pictures.

Ah..Tommy and Jonah..together again and fighting over stuff. Another one of Misty's kids.

Misty , Lacey and I. The three of us. We actually got away from the chaos of the house because of awesome husbands. We went wandering Old town and went to a few art galleries and antique shops.

The men....with pop up Aaron.

Rachel with her cousins: Taylor, Larry and Nani. I love this picture.
