Thanksgiving at Grandma's

Thanksgiving Day!
I had to work this morning so Michelle and the boys headed up to Grandma Petersen's house yesterday.  After all, why hang out at our house when I can't even be there but the cousins will be at Grandma's house?  So the boys were so excited they helped to pack the suburban and get things ready for the trip.

After work I drove up to Grantsville to join the festivities.  Uncle Dan and Aunt Monica were there along with their daughter Shilo and her boyfriend Andrew.  The feast wasn't quite ready so we had a chance to visit.  
One of the activities that had transpired was the making of Indian headdresses.  Each kid got the headband to decorate.  Then they added an appropriate number of feathers.  And finally, each kid chose their special Indian name.

Once dinner was ready we lined up and went to town.  This dinner was very good; all those who helped prepare the food did an excellent job on the cooking and preparation.

Michelle's candied yams were so good that my boys ate their food and Devon went back for seconds.
Uncle Kyle volunteered for Gidean duty during dinner time.  You can tell that Uncle Kyle is very experienced now that he's had 5 other nephews to practice on.
After dinner Shilo and Andrew curled up for a nap.

And the men gathered to check out hunting pictures on the computer.

It was a very enjoyable trip with incredible food and awesome company.  Unfortunately, I had to return home so that I could be at work bright and early on Friday.
