Sunny Thanksgiving in St George!

This year we spent the week of Thanksgiving in beautiful warm St. George. We had a great time catching up with cousins, playing games, shooting off rockets, eating good food, and chasing kids around. There were around 75 people in attendance at the Bloomington Hills Stake Center. Thanks to Joan and Mark who did so much to make it a nice day for all.

I just had to include this picture of Addie and Luke. She is the Belnap's nephew and do they ever love each other. She is constantly trying to kiss him...so funny!


Uncle Dave and Aunt Carol brought this fun blow-up jumpy thing. The set it up in the cultural hall and the kids had a blast. Logan was in pure heaven playing with all the McDonald boy cousins, unfortunately on the Taggart side the girls dominate. It kept the kids out of our hair while the adults were preparing dinner. Cousin Jamie was always there to play with Addie.

Some of the kids making fun necklaces at the craft table.

Jeff was in charge of the rocket blasting. Luckily Uncle Brent brought the generator. All the boys made their rockets and had a blast shooting them off. Jeff, James and Keith had to hide behind a tarp to keep from getting drenched with water each time a rocket shot off.

Some of the younger kids watching the festivities in the parking lot. Notice they don't even have on jackets, oh the joys of St. George.

Uncle Jeremy and his cute new girlfriend, Star. They won the rocket competition with thier sleek rocket design.
