Thanksgiving Weekend

It has taken me over a week to finally sit down and write about Thanksgiving weekend. So much fun. I don't really have too many pictures. That always happens when I'm having fun, I forget to take pictures.
Tuesday
Well, the weekend began Tuesday night since there was no school Wednesday. Tuesday night all the girl grandkids, except newborn Emily, (Anna, Haley, and Chloie) went to the BYU women's basketball game with me, Patricia, Mijoung, and my mom. They were playing #1 UConn so they really wanted a big crowd. They got killed, but we had fun. Haley loves seeing Cosmo. The half time show and the treats were the highlight of the game. For half-time, they had a trampoline dunking team. It was fun to see all their neat slam dunks.
Wednesday
Hyrum got to sleep over Tuesday night so he was with us all day on Wednesday. We just played, went to Cafe Rio, then played with the rest of the Kammerman's in the afternoon. Hyrum was wearing this blue striped shirt, so I told Britton that he had the same one, so he got it on. Then when Haley saw them, she ran to get hers on. So funny.

That night 7 of the 9 Kammerman's stayed at our house (John and Reed stayed at my mom's). Patricia and I were stuck with all the kids while Jason and Aaron played volleyball into the wee hours of the morning.

Thursday (Thanksgiving)
We started a new tradition this year and began the festivities with a family kickball game. It was a blast! Both teams brought their "A" game and it was a tough competition battling until the very last play. Unfortunately, my team lost, but it was still so much fun. It's defintiely something we'll have to do every year. At least until everyone is old enough to play football.
Haley had my camera so there are a few pictures and lots of tiny video clips (I won't post those) that she took of everyone. None of them are the best quality.
Lizzy!
Destry and Anna!

In the afternoon, we headed up to Jason's Aunt Irene's for his side of the family's gathering. We were getting there about when a lot of people were leaving, but it was still good to see some people we haven't seen in a long time. I got to see the fireplace that Jason built at his aunt's house. He really does great work. We had a wii bowling tournament and lots of fun just being with people we don't get to see often enough.
Friday
We spent Friday mostly at home. Hayden and Corbin were over so Britton got to play with cousins all day again. In the evening Jason and I went to the Jazz game (thanks Desiree and Nate for the tickets and thanks to Mark for watching our kids!). It was a really fun game and fun to just get away for a bit.
Saturday
Jason was working at Biz's all day. (He is remodeling their kitchen.) So, we went up to hang out with Biz and Ethan. We went to Ikea then over to Sheryl's to play. Britton played with Dylan and Destry all day and the rest of us just hung out, talking, eating, and coloring. It was a fun day.
Sunday
After church, we went to Kim's for dinner. The kids got to play with most of their cousins on Jason's side and we just got to hang out and have fun. We had a wii bowling game and then watched the kids play. Corbin was the best with his "I totally won!" statement after he made a strike. So cute.
The whole week was so great. We got to be with family pretty much non-stop. We loved it! We're so grateful for such a wonderful family.
