We take turns every other year spending time w/either the Frame or the Rogerson family. Usually on the Rogerson year (if we stay in Utah) its a much smaller get together, but this year we had the luxury of having a good majority of Gi's family travel here for the holiday. Two of his 3 younger brothers, and his parents, plus an uncle, Grandma, and a few locals... we had a really great time and so appreciate Mark and Cindy for hosting the event. The cooking was non-stop and after a full day of eating, a couple of gingerbread trains assembled, we even got to do a little Black Friday shopping and see a movie. All-in-all you'd call it a success.
More than anything we just felt spoiled to have the family travel so far to be with us, and while extra visitors always brings a bit of chaos to a routine, it sure brings a lot of smiles and fun to see the kids enjoy their cousins and to have a chance to catch up w/our parents and siblings. I'm so glad to have married into a family that will go to such great lengths to be together, so much like my own, and so glad that we really do enjoy being together so much. We missed having our Oregon brother and family here, but hopefully we'll get to meet that new niece before long too. Happy Thanksgiving!
