Thanksgiving 2011

This Thanksgiving we decided to give back and to show gratitude for our many blessings. I signed Sam and I up for the Utah Human Race, which gives the proceeds of the race to the Utah Food Bank. It was a 5k run on the Thanksgiving day morning. It was great to contribute as well as get a good work-out in before we ate way too much food.

This year we spent Thanksgiving day with Sam's family up in Clinton, UT. There were about 20 of us up at the Henne's, which was great! We had a lot of time seeing everyone and spending time with the Kelly side of the family. I made yummy home-made rolls as well as a lemon-sour cream pie! There was so much food because everyone brought something! Bristol had so much fun playing with all the kiddos- which was great for her!

Giving Thanks- Kelly Style in GJ

We love the Kelly family and the opportunity we had to spend Thanksgiving with them. It is such a blast every time we venture to GJ and this one lived up to expectations. We were able to stay with Sam's aunt and uncle Swensen and enjoy the festivities along with 33 other adults and 14 children. Needless to say, when the Kelly's get together it is always a massive celebration. We enjoy yummy food, late night discussions across Steve and Connie's 30 foot table, and lots and lots of fun! Thanks for inviting us, and we cannot wait to make it down there again.. Hopefully soon!
