Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year in Provo. We stayed with Russ and Mary's family in Pleasant Grove, and the girls enjoyed every waking moment with their cousins! Olivia and Emma would only appear for meals and bedtime, otherwise, we didn't see them at all!

We headed to Provo on Thanksgiving Day for dinner at Grandpa and Grandma O's. Before dinner, we asked Mary to take a few family pictures in Rock Canyon, just a few steps away from the Osguthorpe's home. Mary took some great photos, and Livi took this great picture to enter in her Reflections contest at school.
Dinner was delicious! Lola could hardly wait for the actual meal to be ready. She commandeered the veggie tray and ate as much as she could! This girl loves her veggies with ranch.

This year also marked the 10th anniversary of our engagement. 10 years ago this year Rich proposed on the BYU soccer field, and then we drove up to his parents' home for dinner. I had to keep my ring hidden until we all sat down to dinner and Rich made the announcement. We took a picture this year to remember the occasion. A few more wrinkles, and a little less hair, but many happy memories in those 10 years!





Of course we did the traditional adult and childrens' tables. The food was delicious, and we enjoyed the company even more.
A few of Lolly's siblings joined us for the meal and did a little program for us after dinner. It was great to see Uncle Steve, Aunt Claudia, and Aunt Karen, as well as Grandma Lolly, singing their family songs and remembering old times.
Of course, Thanksgiving would not be complete without pies...especially for Rich...he LIVES for the pies!The day ended with the girls all snug in their beds..not so much. This is what cousin sleepovers are all about, right?
