It's always fun to go home and have all of my family there and to stay under one roof where all of the cousins can play. The weather was so nice. Tessa and I put together a 5K family Turkey Trot. We wanted to do something fun with everyone and hopefully create a fun memory. We wanted to make it as legit as possible so TJ made awesome bibs, Tessa supplied medals and we had water stations set up with a start and finish line. The day before we each decorated our race shirts which everyone thought was so much fun. I was so happy that everyone participated and Tandy and Christian were our camera crew and drove along us and snapped our pictures. It was a lot of fun and who knows, maybe it will be an new tradition. I think the kids thought it was cool and I loved how grandma and grandpa ran too. It was great to do something active together. We ate a lot of food and played outside, went to the park, played card games and the kids made a lot of loom bracelets for all. My dad even brought jewelry home for all the little kids. He wanted to take the adults to the shop for some free jewelry but we ran out of time. DANG! We also got to go to the church and play basketball which is my favorite tradition. We all went to see Frozen at the theater. And I hear it was a really good movie but since Kasen did not want to watch it we hung out in the hall. It was really good to see Cody and for the first time in a long time I think I saw a tiny light in him. He seemed more alive and actually stuck around the house and hung out with us all which has not happened in years.
We also had to hit up Dion's for the worlds best pizza!
It was kind of sad this year knowing that Christian might not be around for next year's depending on school and Camryn will be out on his mission. I hate when things change and I hate when kids grow up.
