We had lots of family come and visit throughout Thanksgiving week and did some really memorable things. Friday morning the day after Thanksgiving we got up early and headed for the temple to do baptisms. It was my sister's son Braytons first time doing temple baptisms and we arranged a special session to go together. My mom serves in the temple friday mornings so she was there too. Really special.
Another memorable event was the Turkey trot we did on Thanksgiving morning. My brother really wanted to have us all run a mini-mini marathon that morning together. It turned out to be super fun. We ran a few miles (with many strenuous hills) around our house and neighboring houses with river access. It was a wonderful crisp frosty morning. It felt great. Thanks Brig for setting that up!
We carried on a tradition that Dave remembers doing every year with his cousins in Spokane at Thanksgiving of decorating graham cracker houses. The kids had a sweet time.
