This was a memorable Thanksgiving for many reasons;
1. All our children and grandchildren were here with us, which can be an accomplishment for any family.
2. Cris was up walking a bit and impressing everyone.
3. We laughed a lot.
4. We played a lot.
5. We saw cousins loving and bonding.
6. We had great food--thanks everyone for your contributions.
7. This was one of my easiest cooking Thanksgivings.
8. The football game was awesome.
9. We are acutely aware that life can be fleeting and savoring each moment fills us with joy.
10. We appreciate the goodness of our children and their spouses. We love each grandchild individually.
11. We are grateful for the Gospel in our lives and the peace and joy it brings.
12. We are grateful for our Savior.
Enjoy the photos.

I love all the family pics! It is crazy how time goes...weren't we all just little kids the other day?
Yes--you were. And aren't we lucky to still keep in touch. Your little family is absolutely darling and I can't wait for the pink princess to arrive.
What a beautiful family you have. I love your family pictures, it makes me want one of my whole family too! (Lisa Race)
You have such a beautiful family. You must be so proud!! I'm glad you had a nice Thanksgiving--nothing better than spending it with family.
Adorable family pictures!! What is that hanging out of Nick's pocket? Tell Kev & Nick that next year, they can "phone a friend" (aka Gty) to help them beat Srod & Jason.
Awesome idea Landee. Just like on Millionaire--you have options, ask the audience, phone a friend, 50/50. I'm sure that would help them win :)
I believe that was the THIRD time in a row that "we" won. Those boys are very proud of their track record in that game. You should post a video of playing football. Those were good times. And btw, I'm going to have to copy some of these pictures on my blog. doyee
Look at that respectable family picture in the header! Handsome bunch.
How'd you get so many grandkids??? It's so great seeing Bishop getting better. Loved seeing a snapshot of your holiday!
It certainly looks like you had fun and I can see why you are so thankful, this year especially. Hope all is getting back to "normal."
I count the Parks family whenever I am counting blessings. You are my hero (say it twice, once for Carol and once for Bishop)
Those pictures are great! Glad to know you could all be together for Thanksgiving.
