Thanksgiving

Brandon came home from his mission and it was the first time in 5years that my whole family has been in one place at the same time without missing anyone. We had a lot of fun. My dad was able to drive the 12seater van so everyone could travel in one car and drive down to Monterey to see my new digs. My house is really big and having all 22people in my house didn't feel crowded at all, in fact the house seemed really empty when everyone left.
We had such a wonderful time at the beach and seeing the town a little bit. The weather worked out wonderful, we were able to take family photos.
