...We had Thanksgiving

Yeah. Thanksgiving. You know- that holiday that occurred about 3 months ago? Well I just got the pictures back from it and decided to share the wonder that is a Peterson Family Thanksgiving.

This year my entire family migrated to Utah for Turkey Day. My parents rented a house up Little Cottonwood Canyon that could accommodate all 10 adults and 5 kids. (Side note: you'd think that since adults matched kids 2:1 we'd have the kids under control right? Wrong.) As always, we had a blast together and succeeded in refraining from killing eachother. Here are some highlights:

First- there is a tradition in the Peterson family that if there is a big, clean, empty sink you must bathe your child in it. I have no idea as to the origin of this tradition. Maybe great great great Grandpa Orville was a cheapskate and refused to buy a bathtub. I don't know. But it's a beautiful thing and we all thoroughly enjoyed watching my oldest brother Danny bathe his daughter.

Look at that face- priceless.

Second- GAMES! We love playing games as a family. We are all very competitive in a fun way... most of the time. However, I have no pictures of playing games because I was too busy winning most of them. :)

Third- eating. We love good food and we love to eat it. I also have no pictures of this because no food lasted long enough to take a picture of. Yeah...

Fourth- Temple Square. We went to Temple Square one night because my sister-in-law had never been and really wanted to see the lights. Bad idea. There are a ridiculous amount of people at Temple Square on Thanksgiving weekend. It turned out being a nice visit, but dude- I hate large groups of people and freezing cold temperatures.

Graham HAD to push Owen around while yelling "Choo Choo!" so everyone in the way would know to move.

So all in all it was a wonderful holiday full of fun, stress, gluttony and name calling. All part of being a Peterson.

Perfect.
