Warner M.D.: Thanksgiving BLAST!

Derrick and I's family are on a rotation of every other year for the holidays, unfortunately both of our family is on the same year! We had D's siblings and parents over Thursday late morning for lunch, then headed up towards East Canyon! Thanksgiving was so much fun this year, I would say the best I have ever had (although playing snow football with the Cowley cousins is high on the list)! With everyone coming home this year, there were 2 parents, 1 aunt, 9 siblings, 3-in-laws present (2 missing), 14 grandkids. I think that adds up to about 29. My mom and dad rented out the place where D & I had our reception! Best Idea Ever! Oh so fun; there were planned activities, games, lots and lots of food! Best of all, all 9 Jones kids where together with all their kids! That doesn't happen all too often, we try once a year, the last time was at our wedding and we didn't even get a picture! We gathered Thursday afternoon and we stayed til Saturday morning! D and I stayed up til 5 am Friday night playing board games, slept maybe an hour til we got the sickies! Maybe after a combined hour sleep we dreadfully packed up the place, cleaned, drove to my mom's to unpack, and then finally went home to bed! Still worth it! Time with both of our families was nice! It is hard to split the time, I'm thinking we are going to have to disappoint one family and only have one Thanksgiving dinner on Thanksgiving next year or one Christmas.... Any suggestions? Enjoy the pics!
