Thanksgiving Weekend With All The Relatives

We had a crazy, fun, exciting Thanksgiving weekend.  We had Thanksgiving lunch with my family on Thursday.  Following a longstanding tradition, Santa's elves showed up right after to ask everyone what they want for Christmas and give them a bag of candy.



After lunch, we visited with everyone for a while and then headed off to see Wayne's family.  We arrived in time for pie and playing with cousins.  Daniel and Benjamin had so much fun with their cousins that they also spent most of Friday playing with their cousins from Bear Lake.

Saturday was a really special day because Daniel was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints by Wayne.  We are so happy that he chose to take this step in his life.  Benjamin can hardly wait until he is eight years old so that he can be baptized as well.  Here are Wayne and Daniel dressed in white:


Don't they just look happy?

Daniel wants to say "Thanks" to everyone who helped make it a special day.  Because of the Thanksgiving weekend, we had a huge turnout.  It was fun to see so many family members there, especially those who came from far away places like Texas, Arizona, and Las Vegas.


 
This is most of Wayne's family that came.  
 
We got video but no still shots of my family at the baptism because there were so many people.  And my camera was having issues anyway.  Tomorrow we have one more family party, this time in honor of my newest baby niece.  Oh, and it's somebody's birthday.  Could that be my wonderful husband Wayne?
