Thanksgiving 2011

As I mentioned before Thanksgiving this year was spent in Arizona with all 72 members of my dad's side of the family. We felt bad for missing Thanksgiving with Jeremy's family this year, but we appreciate that they understood how important it was for us to be at this reunion. Every single family member was there which is extremely rare, but made it a great time!! Each day was filled with fun activities and plenty of time to catch up with everyone.  

Kylie finally had her much anticipated reunion with Tatum.  While Jase was at Primary Children's Hospital we stayed with Tatum and her family and these two became great little friends. Girls seem to dominate the Hansen family and several of them were born right around the time Kylie was which meant she was in heaven! She had a blast with all the kids for those three days. 

We, of course enjoyed an amazing Thanksgiving dinner complete with the usual goodness.

We enjoyed activities such as Ashley and David's go-cart, a Minute to Win it game, a 5K and fun run, yoga, black friday shopping, murder in the dark, the car show, golfing, swimming, lots of eating and little sleep. 

We also had a neat family night that Kylie had a chance to participate in. She was assigned as ancestor to learn about and then drew a picture and told us about it. We also watched the traditional family video my mom and sister work so hard to make each reunion.

The last day of the reunion came way too soon, but was also picture day.

 We had one big family picture taken and then took a few pictures of our own. 

This reunion was something we have been excited for, for over a year and half and it ended all too soon, but I am grateful for the time we spent together and the memories we made. I am truly blessed to be part of such an amazing family and was reminded of that several time during the week.
