I am so grateful for family. I love having a big family and getting together for the holidays. Everywhere you turn there is someone to talk with, laugh with, eat with, cry with and the list goes on... Here we are, all together after our newest niece, Kaylee's, baby blessing (Minus Michael, Cory, Trena, Jordan and Jamal). Continue on down for more pictures from our wonderful Thanksgiving vacation!
We started out the trip with Parker getting a big lip! My sister, (I won't name any names), gave Parker a bite of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. He spit it out, but soon this big lip appeared. Paul and I had already suspected a peanut allergy, from the hives he got when he had a bite of PB and J when we were in Ohio. This somewhat confirms our suspicion. We will have that checked out and get back to you.
Parker made quick friends with his California cousins. He loved that Jordan could push him around on this little truck!You can also see them having fun together at bath time!
As the adults are now out numbered by the kids, many of the activities centered around them; trip to the park, trip to Chuck E Cheese, trip to the giant bouncy place and then a trip to downtown Riverside to see the Christmas lights on the Historic Mission Inn, which we all enjoyed! (See pictures below).
Of course there were a few Celtic's, Cowboys, BYU and North Huskies' games amongst the Thanksgiving festivities. I think that is one of the things that makes it feel like home; watching football and basketball with my brothers, and everyone all gathered around putting in their 2 cents.
Finally, I choreographed a little "High School Musical" dance for the kids to do on Thanksgiving day. Pretty much, they danced to a song from High School Musical and sometimes even did the same moves at the same time. They actually did pretty good. I was proud.
P.S. I saw the movie, "The Ultimate Gift," (It's on DVD now), for the first time over Thanksgiving break. It was a good movie, with a great message. I just thought that I would promote it. Thanks Andrew and Trena.

It looks like the entire Nelson clan had a blast! We miss you guys!
Hey IM the one that told her about that movie.
SO cute! wish there was a video of it..."You gotta get your head in the game!"
That picture with Parker's lip is so sad! Peanut allergy? Do either you or Paul have it in your family? Glad to hear you had a great Thanksgiving...I'd be curious to see that little choreography number. Maybe you'll have to perform it next time we get together (oh, wait...I can't make it on the 7th, so I guess I'll have to wait til next year!)
We love The Ultimate gift... lets watch it together some time! I know someone with a cool theater room!
Thanks for the family picture!
