I didn't even have to cook a turkey this year and Jon handled most of the cooking on our end (pies, mashed potatoes & raspberry Jell-O salad) and I did the creamed corn. We met over at Becky's at 1:00 and had such a delicious dinner together.
There was quite a crowd:
Becky, Annie & Jesse Cowden
Richard Olsen
All 8 of us!
Peter
Richard, Misty & Sophia
Mike
John, Becky, Brooklyn & Jake
Aunt Claudia & Uncle Bruce
Matt
Aaron & Diane
Meg, Lucy & Nora
my friend Julie
It was so fun to visit and laugh and just be together. We are looking forward to next year when my parents will be home (and Matt & Jake Cowden)!
After a few hours, we all made our way back to my house for leftovers, some ham & rolls, and some games.

They had markers and papers for the little kids to color with and Hannah & Hailey just loved that!
Aaron, Meg & Lucy
All the grandkids got to open new Christmas pajamas from Grandma Sorenson (and the Graf kids got some from Grandma Claudia). They all looked so cute and snuggly in them! Thank you Grandma!
(And thanks to me for picking them out :)) We also get out the Christmas quilts on Thanksgiving night.
Hailey & Jake - I love his expression! He's seriously just happy to be alive!
Brooklyn & Jake
Thank you again Becky!
