Preston and Devin surprised us and came over Tuesday morning to help me clean and watch kids so I could (re)pack and get ready to caravan down with them to Las Vegas for Thanksgiving (angels!). There aren't that many people I would let do that or see my messy house haha, but I was sure glad they were there!
Nolan wanted to help make lunch in his new Darth Vader apron from Gm and Gp Mathews ♥
The three big boys playing Nolan's new Millennium Falcon game.
We like to stop at McDonald's in Cedar to let the kids run around.
Yes, that's B climbing in the hole where the balls come out #rollingmyeyesatthatcrazykid

If I had to sum up Thanksgiving weekend it would probably be yummy food, chatting adults, hot-tubbing, and pure chaos (kid and toy choas) haha. But it was a blast!! I really love my family so much!
This year we had all of our family + Granky + Mark and Mandy and their kids, Robert and Susie, and Paul. 15 adults and 11 kids in all. Quite the crew!
4 generations of Mathews men ♥
Nolan was SO excited to show Uncle BJ his new Millennium Falcon! It was cute watching them 'geek out' ♥
Granky monitoring the hot-tubbing
Nolan wanted to be crazy like the big kids and got in the cold pool!!
As usual my mom (with some yummy contributions from others too) made an incredible Thanksgiving dinner!!
And as if 26 people wasn't enough, why not invite the missionaries over too?! ☺ It was fun having them and they survived the chaos haha! One of them, Elder Wright, is from East Millcreek and worked at the Holladay Rec Center where the boys take swim lessons!
More family fun!
One night we went outside and had a blast with scooters and wiggle cars. We only had one incident where Will started going down the street (and the other kids followed) and wouldn't come back when we called for them. So Preston got on his horse and chased them down with me not too far behind. On the way back up the street one of the neighbors chuckled and commented on our big crew and asked if they were all ours haha!
Nolan 'shooting' everyone
Being silly with Gm Mathews
Nolan's face :D
The boys helping me make cookies! They were all really good helpers ☺
The little boys sure love Bruce!
Fun at Lone Mtn. Park
How cute is little Anne?!
Dinner at In 'n' Out!! Granky has always loved this place ♥
We pretty much took over with our crew haha.
I just LOVE my family and how much fun we have talking and laughing and playing together. I sure hope these cousins (including the second cousins) will always be close ♥
