Thanksgiving at the John & Liz Moody home in Kaysville & the Bob & Linda Moody home in Orem, Ut- Nov. 27, 2008

There were 15 of us for a fun Thanksgiving night together! (Jay, Janece, Brandon, Veronica, Michael, Jayce, Tami, Aaron, Shanae, Kali, Krew, Nate, Seth, Janica, & Coriann)
The Wood clan came back to my brother's home in Orem that we are taking care of. We ate some pie & played some games, such as 'Catch Phrase'. Good Times! I LOVE MY FAMILY!
Family Ties Are definitely bound by Love. This quilt of Liz's was handed down on the Moody side of the family from a grandmother we believe. We don't know how many greats. I also like the saying that says, "Families are like quilts...lives pieced together, stitched with smiles and tears, colored with memories, and bound by love."
This poem talks about all of the things that we are thankful for. We had all been asked to write down our thoughts about what we were thankful for & slide them in a picture holder frame.
All the while, John has been out practicing his 3 pt. shot and burning off some of his dinner.
                        Mike, Rachel, Sheralyn, & Allen Romrell.
Liz, Sheralyn, Janece & Sherri having fun looking through Liz's family picture album.
Aaron, Shanae, Tami, Liz, Sheralyn, & Joe visiting while the kids play.
                  Robert & Derek are having fun in the sandbox.
                     Grandpa is helping Krew try out the swings.
                   Kali is showing us how strong she is.


The little ones decided it was time to go outside to play & so several adults joined them.
Here are some of the teenagers having fun talking & eating snacks.
Veronica & baby Jayce are visiting with Marie, as they keep an eye on the other kids.
Calee & Kali are having fun being little mothers playing with the dolls & dollhouse.
Michael is having a great time playing with the cars & trucks.
Here's some of my great nieces & nephews playing video games in the BYU room (Robert & Derek Spencer, Maddy holding Zoe, Sam & Abby Moody, Ashley & Madisen Pearce)
Brent Moody, Coriann laying on the couch, Brandon Wood, Aaron & baby Krew Jones busy watching the football games.
Liz Moody, our hostess busily cleaning up the kitchen. Allen Romrell is standing in the doorway.
I'm sorry I didn't get a picture of the wonderful delicious Thanksgiving feast with turkey & all the trimmings, but we did all get stuffed & here are some of the group relaxing. Jay Wood, Joseph Spencer, Nate Wood, Tami & Shanae Jones, Marie & Will Spencer, & Sherri Tomlinson. This home is John (my nephew) & Liz Moody's in Kaysville, Utah. There were 12 of our Wood family there plus Tami Jones, Aaron's mother. Seth & Janica were with Seth's family & they joined with us later on in Orem. There were 5 in the Tomlinson family, about 6 in the Brent Moody family, 5 in the Romrell family, including Mike's girlfriend, 5 in the Spencer family, & 10 in the John Moody family, including Josh's girlfriend. So I think there were about 44 of us, altogether.
