Thanksgiving Fun

We had a great time at Thanksgiving in Kaysville with the Barrett side of the family. There were 12 missing from the whole crew of 63 . . . and most of those were mine! Mike, Bri, Trent and Garret stayed in Hawaii, and Kenny, Christan, Bailey and Corbin stayed in Ivins (Christan and the kids were exposed to chicken pox and didn't want to put the whole Barrett family at risk!). So the other 51 of us had a great time eating, playing basketball, talking, eating, playing games, hugging babies, discussing genealogy and of course . . . eating. George treated the Smith gang + Great Grandpa & Grandma to dinner on Friday night and everyone went to the Jazz vs. Hornets game. It was great to have time to catch up with family - meet new family members (Brooke's new baby, Brandon's new wife), and listen to my Dad's war stories. I even heard a new story - all about how he survived a typhoon on an aircraft carrier in the South Pacific during World War II. It was a great trip.
