we went to my parents house this year in california for thanksgiving. every one of my siblings also were with my parents this year so it was extra fun to have everyone there this year. berkeley loved it the entire time because she had cousins around her constantly.
my parents house was a tad bit crowded considering there were 14 people staying there at one
time, but we had fun being with everyone. thanksgiving day we played soccer in the morning, then had some play time in the afternoon, and dinner around 5. our meal was amazing thanks to my mom and my 3 sisters. probably the best thanksgiving meal i have ever had! then that night we played cards then went to a late movie with some of my siblings.
friday we started off with family pictures at the park, then we had my grandmas 90th birthday party. friday afternoon everyone kind of ended up at my parents again, so we played cards again and then went to see the movie new moon with my sisters.
saturday night all of my siblings and spouses got to go out to dinner with no kids which
is always an extra treat. with 22 grandkids it kind of gets exhausting having kids around all the time. then sunday was my cousin katie's mission farewell, with a lovely brunch to follow.
it was a packed weekend with lots of activities and i had so much fun. i was sad to see it end but yet so excited knowing that it is now the christmas season!

thanksgiving day we always play soccer....so here everyone is after a day of soccer. we only had one injury and then of course i got taken out once by my 11 year old nephew and then againby my 9 year old niece.
the beautiful thanksgiving table my mom put together.
playing on the tire swing at the neighbors across the street. i grew up playing on this swing so it was fun to take berkeley on it for the first time.
berkeley and clay playing outside in the backyard on the swing while jensen was pushing them. im pretty sure she was having the time of her life.
the kids put together this soccer goal in the back yard for the CONSTANT soccer that was going on the whole weekend.
on friday we celebrated my grandmas 90th birthday. all my 6 siblings were there, as well as some of my out of state cousins and out of state aunts and uncles. it was a really
