thanksgiving

my parents celebrated their 43rd anniversary and to celebrate that took a trip to california and and memory lane, they lived there when they were first married and while my dad was in the service.  they had a great time and i'm so happy they took time to celebrate!! 

 this is thanksgiving day getting all the place setting together, we had a total of 21 adults and 12 kids!  and that is a small number compared to past years.  i can't believe we use to get all together at my mom's old town house...i have no idea how we all fit there. 
 cooking, cooking, cooking!!
 and of course a turkey-trot!! the rossers are super fast, it was so fun seeing all the little kids run 
their hearts out..there is already a lot of trash talk about a rematch at our jingle bells family run on christmas!

 and the feast....the twinners that it was so so, but i loved it, and love amanda's homemade rolls and honeybutter!!  we missed spence, but he was busy in temple texas on-call
 helping all the turkey-bowl victims
 the annual brown bingo was a hit!! it was so fun to even see the twinners excited about the prizes!!
 it has been so nice this year living in Utah and being around for every holiday! this year has really been a roller-coaster but being with family and being able to celebrate has been wonderful
