THANKSGIVING CLARK STYLE 2012

 
 HAVING SAM NOT THERE WAS A HUGE DEAL THIS YEAR!!!
luckly kenta filled his paws kinda sorta, with matt trying to train him the boys loved playing any game she was up for




 we went and saw wreck it ralf before the feast and the boys loved it
 gradma had the boys paint decorations to hang up around the house
 
and then they all showed up and we did our thankfull game, where we all say what were thankfull for and cut the flower, who ever makes the dime fall has to get it out with there mouth
 Gman actually lost but Jace covered for him
the dinner was delish, everything tasted perfect!

 and then it happend the music came on and the
DANCE BEGIN


 WE WERE RIPPING IT UP SO WELL, THAT GMAN KNOCKED OUT IS FRONT TOOTH...
NO TEARS HAPPEND, HE WAS JUST READY TO DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY



 















 
 After a good nights sleep we all headed to slc to sleep over and see all the festivitys, the boys loved macies candy windows


the game plan was dinner at the eatery and temple lights...
but it was SO CROWDED we had to come up with
 PLAN B..
some mexican joint and a ride on the train, topped off with walking the streets of the homless shelter.
it was amazing explaining to the kids why people slept on the streets and actually seeing how they all lived. i think deep down we were all a little nervouse as we walked REALLY CLOSE TOGTHER!




we topped the night off with swimming and i think everyone else had that same idea cuz the pool was packed!



 one of the best suprizes was shannon staying at the same hotel as us.. and us having OUR ROOMS RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO EACH OTHER! it was so fun seeing her 3 cute girls and catching up on all the goods!
LOVED THIS THANKSGIVING, IT WILL BE ONE I HOPE TO ALWAYS REMEBER!
THOMPSONS YOU WERE SO MISSED... NEXT YEAR!!!

You captured it all! Thank heavens you always have your camera handy. Thank you so much for coming home! It's never the same without your family. I love the non stop action from your boys. I'm sorry if my kids scared your boys with scary stories and salt in their drinks. I was amazed that you were so on top of all that was going on with the kids at all times. I tune mine out whenever possible. I loved Matts jokes, his one liners, his hobbling, and that he went on a peppermint hot chocolate run at night with us. And best of all I LOVED having a sister home for a bit!!!! I wish somehow we lived closer. You make me happy when I am with you! Do you think Matt will be up for a trip back for Christmas? xoxo

Jamie I nominate you photographer of the year. You captured everything! I love all the group pictures of the kids, and all of us. You handle that so smoothly. I think about our dance and smile all the time. It was at the top of my thanksgiving happiness list. I am loving my hair, it is perfect. Thank you. I hope you have exciting ornament party and your bones are handling all the crammed in running. Keep us informed. Dad and I miss you something fierce! Thank you for coming.

Love the warm, cuddly, dancin clark side! I think us dennings could maybe give you a run for your money in a dance off but it would not be pretty on our side. Can't believe Grady lost his tooth dancing, I think the way he handled it is the coolest story ever. I love the thankful penny game, every year I say we are going to make that a new tradition, I need to get on it. So fun to see your cute family partying together!
