Thanksgiving was a big family reunion!


We got together with families we don't get to see all that often and had over 60 people for Thanksgiving dinner! It was a big feast and lots of fun. We had to reserve a chaple and spent all day and night hanging out, we didn't get home until 12:30am. The day started out with dinner and then because we knew the kids would be restless while the adults hung out and talked me and my sister in-laws planned crafts for the kids.


Maria had the kids paint their hands and make turkeys.

I had pictures for the kids to color.

Lori had the kids write or draw a picture of what they were thankful for and we make a big turkey.
Jethro threw the football around with some of the tweens.




After that we had a simple program and Jethro and his brothers played guitars. One of the songs they sang was a Samoan song that the older adults got up and danced a "Taualuga".





The kids also did a hula number and sang songs. Afterwards we cleaned up and set up the volleyball net and played and hung out until midnight! It was a great Thanksgiving and as always fun to be with family!
