Thanksgiving

We had such a fun Thanksgiving this year.  Dad was able to get the whole weekend off of work so we headed to Rexburg to spend the holiday with Grandpa and Grandma Southwick and Great Grandma Ward. We got there in the morning on Thanksgiving Day.  There were several of us coming this year.  There was our family, Dave and his family, Becky and her family, and Bill and her family.  All together there were 25 of us.  We got to meet Dave's new wife April.  She is great and we love her in our family. So nice to see Dave so happy!  Grandpa transformed his garage into a great eating area.  He had a cool heater that kept us toasty warm even though it was freezing outside.  He set up tables and it worked great for eating, visiting, playing lots of games and looking at black Friday adds!  The cousins had a great time hanging out together.  We stayed down the road at a hotel for the two nights we were there.  We had a delicious Thanksgiving dinner.  Dave brought his home grown 30 lb turkey and we had a total of 10 pies!!  It was awesome.  

 Grandpa organized a little project so that he could get some much needed help on his little farm.  He had the kids cutting and stacking wood.  They also got to help with the goats and chickens.  It's always an adventure when you go to Grandpa's house.  We tried goat milk and goat milk cheese.  Our pies and mashed potatoes were even made with goat milk!
