Thanksgiving is one of our favorite holidays of the year!
It's a time for big family get togethers. We love hosting the "Sullivan's" for a fun filled weekend extravaganza.
Aunt Bridget drove from Utah with Jayce, Cameron, Marcus and Mikelle. Oh, we can't forget their dog, Moki. Tyler and Allison drove from Utah. Grandma and Grandpa Sullivan drove in from San Francisco and Uncle Brian drove up from Reseda. Thanksgiving morning we headed over to the park to work up an appetite. We played ultimate frisbee, volleyball and a little rugby. There are some serious athletes in this bunch!
Uncle Brian helped lead his team to victory...
Cousin Jayce showed us his rugby skills.....
Oh yeah Ben.....what a nice catch!!
Girls just want to have fun.....
Moki was loving his time at the park!
It was so warm at the park that the children wanted to come home and jump in the pool......
The water was so cold, but they had fun anyway!
We couldn't keep Moki out of the water.
While the children played outside, mom, Bridget and I worked inside to get the food finished up.
Now that's what I call a feast!!!!
Grandma and Grandpa Judd joined us for the day.
After dinner we played games......
"Just dance" was a big hit!!
Ben serenaded us with some disney music.
Emily brought out her new game "Quelf" and the cousins had a blast playing it together.
Jayce shared his ukulele skills with us while we had a big "Pass the Pigs" tournament. Everyone put in a dollar to play. When you lost a round you were eliminated. It was intense!!!!
But we had so much fun.
At one point we needed a magnifying glass to determine if the pigs were touching or not......it was determined that they were NOT touching. It came down to Hannah and Grandma Sullivan as the finalists......
and the winner was Grandma Sullivan!!!!!!!

Hannah worked hard for a month before Thanksgiving writing and planning the big show. There were posters, invitations, tickets, seating assignments, props, and costumes.
The show was called, "Want to be Famous".
Hannah, Haley, Marcus and Mikelle were the stars.
Marcus did a great job as the emcee
Look at that audience, they were thrilled to get their very own bag of treats to enjoy during the show!!
Are these four Hollywood bound, or what?!
