Thanksgiving 2011

We had a great time at Jensen Family Thanksgiving in Hurricane! It was great to see all the Aunts, Uncles and Cousins who were able to make it and we missed those who weren't there. Below is a picture of everyone who made it to the party. 

Thanks Craig Ellsworth for taking the pictures!

In addition to our Thanksgiving Dinner we had a pre-Thanksgiving birthday party for Grandma and then a post-Thanksgiving 80th birthday party for Grandpa. The grand-kids and kids told some of their favorite memories of Grandma & Grandpa.

Here are some pictures from our fun day that included basketball, face painting, singing, talking, Black Friday prepping, computer playing, ninja, cooking, picture taking, teasing, story telling and sleeping (which is why there isn't a picture of Missy)

Amazingly enough all 9 Jensen kids were able to make it. Betty Ann even flew in from Lima!

 Happy Thanksgiving!!
