Thanksgiving in Newport.

For Thanksgiving this year Adam and I decided it would be fun to rent a beach house and invite all his family that helped so much with fixing up our homes, since we didn't make any money off of them to pay them back. So we rented one in Newport that a lady we know manages. It was pretty big, and open, could hold a lot of people and they didn't seem to care how many people there were. There were some big windows along the north side of the house, but there were trees in the way so you didn't have a clear view of the ocean. But it was a fun, relaxing getaway to spend time with family. We ate a lot, talked, watched, movies, played wii and guitar hero, and just relaxed. Luckily we had one good weather day so we went down to the beach and walked.


We found a perfect rose on the beach, so we were thinking maybe it was a proposal gone bad. We kept it for ourselves.
Here is Garrett gnawing on a turkey bone like an animal. It was pretty funny. I don't know why he is naked at dinner though.
Lots of yummy grub to eat. We stuffed ourselves which I am pretty sure is a requirement of Thanksgiving anyway. It is fun to have a day to really think about all our blessings and that we need to give thanks every day for the blessings Heavenly Father gives to us.

He's your kid but you're not sure why he's naked at dinner? If I had it my way, Cade would be shirtless every time he eats. I hate stain treating!

Glad you had such a wonderful time at the beach. I love all the pics of the kids. Gare bear is such a little man standing there in the sand!
