Thanksgiving

For a change this year the Frost family held their annual Thanksgiving feast at the Bates in Sandy. We were spread out all over the house but I think everyone had a good time. There were 32 of us for dinner. In 2005 the first time I had Thanksgiving with the Frosts it was a pretty calm affair with no children and just a few teenagers.

This year we had 10 children under the age of 9 but no teenagers. It was great to have all these children running around and providing entertainment.

After dinner with the extended Frost family we drove to Orem to have pie with the Roper family. I must have been pretty full because I could only manage a small piece of pie with some whipped cream and ice cream. It was a very nice Thanksgiving and fun to spend time with extended family.

p.s. We took 10 chairs to the party and came home with 12. Evidently we had left some chairs there from a previous gathering.
