We went to Brigham City for Thanksgiving this year. Since the Claytons have moved to Tricities, Washington, they are within driving distance again and were able to come down too! So fun to have the whole family together again.
Grandkids huddled around Grandma reading a book. (L to R: Ayla, Vera, Bennett, Cooper, and Addison)
For the Thanksgiving feast we reserved a church building. The Tolman clan is getting far too large to meet at anyone's house anymore. It worked out great because there was plenty of toys in the nursery for the little ones.

The whole gang.
The spread. It was YUMMY! Thanksgiving is my all time favorite meal of the year. I LOVE Thanksgiving food.
Our table. We got to get our food first because of all the kids sitting with us. Sweet!
My delicious meal. And please note the baby monitor because...
Tessa napped in the next room the whole meal! It was so perfect.
After dinner we played Pie Face.
Everyone wrote things they were thankful for.
Then we played human Hungry, Hungry Hippos. Cooper had fun playing on the rolling board thing while people were blowing up the ballooons.
Bennett practicing. (Jk. They didn't play in the actual game.)
Every other year Jason participates in Movember. He had just dyed his mustache the night prior. Luckily he shaved it the next night. It is not fun kissing a mustache.

Let the game begin!
I don't know why this picture didn't download completely but it was too cute not to share. Tessa loved Phoebe, the Claytons' dog.
Grandma Webre, Kaden, and Cooper playing Q-bitz. Or if you ask Cooper, he was making a fish. (One of the cards that they were supposed to duplicate looked like a fish and Cooper just stuck with that.)
Grandma Sharp disappeared and we found her in the toy room with all of the grandkids sitting on a tiny Sponge Bob chair.
Cooper (grey) and Bennett (blue) saw their very first theater movie the day after Thanksgiving! The whole family except Vera, Tessa, Jason, and the grandparents Webre went to see The Good Dinosaur. The movie was cute but nothing special. However the boys did REALLY good during the whole movie. I was very impressed. We may be taking them to a movie again in the near future.
We decorated the Christmas tree while we were all there as well.

Noticed how Tessa's toes are pointed. That is their normal resting position. I think it is adorable. Maybe she will be a dancer when she grows up.
The Webres have a fun candy dispenser that the kids love. They have large gumdrops in it and it costs a penny (or any coin you have on hand.)
Bennett showing off his piece of candy.
We had family pictures done at the Credit Union. Cooper (left) and Bennett (right) are patiently waiting for everyone else to be done.
All done and heading back into the grandparents' house.
