On Wednesday Nate's little sister Kristen and her Husband Micheal had the adoption of their child Jayla finalized. So on Saturday we all went to the Provo temple to have her sealed to them. It was such an awesome experience. We then took family pictures of all of us outside the temple. We then blessed Jayla at a church across the street. After that we decided to go to lunch at the brick oven. We had such a good time. So that is what happened on our Thanksgiving weekend. We had a busy full schedule. It was good to have all the family around. I am very thankful for all my family and all that they do for us. Jayla is such a cutie.
After the Football game and a few people left. Those of of us left sat around talking and playing. Cloey got out the dancing cow and was teaching everyone how to play. It was so funny watching her swing her hips and telling everyone else how to do it. She had fun playing with Matt and covering him with pillows and him covering her and Cooper. It was so cute. Then at one point Cloey leaned over to Matt and said "My lips hurt will you kiss them better." We all just busted up laughing. She has got a little crush on him. Nate is worried about her and seeing what she is like at five as what she will be like in ten years. Although it was funny. A couple of weeks ago she came home from school and told me that she got kissed at school and she told me it was yucky and was not going to let that happen again. So something changed. It was cute. I think it made Matt a little nervous having her do that. So Matt if you read this I am sorry and I have had a talk with her. So hopefully next time you are around she will be on better behavior.
After we got done with dinner all the guys and Brittany went outside to have a game of touch football. They played for a couple of hours. They had so much fun. They all had grass stains. They swap players all the time. The kids had fun out there with them. They were in the way most of the time and wouldn't give the ball back if they got it. Good time was had by all.
For Thanksgiving this year we went to Nate's family. We were hoping that all of his siblings were going to be there. Kristen and her husband Micheal and their baby Jayla were the only ones not there. We had a fun time. Nate's youngest sister even brought her boyfriend Matt. It was good to see everyone. So Nate's parents were there Clark and Cindy, Nate's younger brother Lincoln and his wife and their two kids, and the baby of the family. Grandpa and Grandma Walpole were there as well. We all had a good time. Talking and laughing. Although Matt it being his first time eating with us missed out on the turkey because he didn't speak up. We all had a good laugh about that.
