The rest of the trip

Thanksgiving always begins with the annual Nielsen Family Turkey Trot. T-shirts were replaced by beanies this year. We lovingly called them the devious penguin hats.


Briton's shirt described all of our sentiments. And if you think that the background looks like a church gym...ding, ding, ding, you're right! There is nothing better (seriously) than Thanksgiving with 80-ish of your favorite family members. What could be better? 80-ish of the rest of your favorite family members there as well!
We spent Thursday and Friday at the cabin. I was too busy relaxing, visiting and relishing my time to take pictures. Aaaahh...

Saturday was more cousin and grandparent (Mary and Frank) time.

Next, we hit our favorite cemetery. Isn't it beautiful?

Please note that Mike sported his new Utah shirt all day Saturday as we crossed three time zones back to the east. It didn't do him the good he had hoped. (Go Cougars!)

I'm so glad you guys had such a wonderful and relaxing trip!! Unfortunately the Utes did loose however! ;-) Oh well, I guess I wore red for nothing that day. I think from now on we might try doing the church building thing too. We hosted this year and had 43 people in our home. Yikes, it was quite the event! Thinking of you and your sweet family this holiday season. Lots of love to you guys!

Seeing your pictures really makes us wish we could have been at Mary's with you all on Saturday! It would have been fun to have almost all the grandkids together! Looks like Natalie is getting close to beating Abby in height already. :) Love Brit's turkey shirt! So cute!
