Thanksgiving Weekend

We spent Thanksgiving weekend in good 'ol Utah. It was a family packed weekend as both of our families were out there. We started off Thanksgiving weekend with a Turkey Trot in Midway, UT, then some football with the locals before we had dinner with my family. We then quickly (without helping with dishes, sorry Mom) took of to Aunt Pam's (Peter's aunt) for a second meal with Peter's family. Lots of extended family was in town and we had a great time chatting. And of course, Peter had to wrestle with his nephews.
Friday was full of games with the family, including a Green and Bell family wiffle ball game. That night we went to the BYU Football fireside and Cafe Rio. It was great to see the players and coaches in another environment and get a glimpse of Coach Mendenhall's vision. The night ended around 2am when we were finally too tired to play any more card games.

Saturday was all about the BYU vs. U.of.U football game. Peter's brother is on the team and so the whole family made it out for the game. We had signs and all, ready to cheer Jeff on. It is always so fun to be at a college football game, especially your Alma mater. The game was intense but the Cougs pulled out a win. After the game the seniors were honored, we are so proud of Jeff! We ended the night with dinner out with lots of family.Church on Sunday was especially great. A returned missionary game one of the most inspiring talks I've ever heard and then Elder Holland shared his testimony to end the meeting. We had dinner with both our families together before taking off to come home.

Although we were both extremely exhausted when we got home and have been recovering all week, it was so great. We had so much fun with our families and loved getting to know Josh and Jeff's girlfriends. We are both so grateful for our families and the great love and fun we are able to share with them. Thanks to both of our parents for all they did to make it a great weekend.
