Saturday, November 14th, we had an early Thanksgiving dinner with Matt's family while we were all in the same place still. Thanks to Curtis and Jackie's visas for Korea, they ended up still being in Utah for a couple weeks after we moved back from Peru. Originally, we were just going to miss them, so for once, a government worked in our favor so we could see them again :)
The Thanksgiving crew!
Mom wanted a musical number by Curtis and Jackie before they left.
The rest of the crew.
Yes, Mocha attends family events.
Poor Charlie wasn't feeling well.
Mom had us all make pies. We decided to combine Henlie's birthday with dinner, so I let her choose what pie we made. She picked apple. That was a fun adventure as neither Matt nor I had made an apple pie before. It turned out yummy, though. Fun story, at dinner, there were also some chocolate options....and so Henlie had chocolate and no apple pie...
The vents in the pie spelled out "Happy birthday Henlie!"
Aunt Lynell and Uncle John got her some fruit snacks and some cowgirl dolls with horses.
It was so fun to be able to celebrate with the whole family. Michelle and Jennifer also brought their boyfriends, who are both named Braden lol. Michelle's Braden actually is a friend of mine from work, so that's fun. Jennifer's Braden was such a doll playing with the kids. Both of the girls probably read this, as does my mother-in-law, but I'm just going to throw it out there that if they both stick, I'm totally okay with this ;)

I am so grateful for the family I married into. They are wonderful and warm. I love them all so much. Really, I don't think a girl could ask for better in-laws :)
All of the grandkids together.
