Over the river and through the woods, to Grandmother's house we go...
Even though Grandma & Grandpa weren't there, we couldn't break with Tradition...Tradition! So, we stayed at their house with my brother Brad's family and my sister Kim hosted us all for Thanksgiving (including Shaun & Kristen and families). Basically the whole Clements family was together minus three missionaries.
The littlest kid table. Some enjoying the feast more than others.
Luke and Colby loving the cranberry sauce.
The teenager table (minus a few).
Tryptophan kicking in for Ashtyn & Colby.
Lots of pie, pretzel jello, rockband, movie watching, crafting (really a craft-o-thon, if you will...thanks, Alana), and lots of fun catching up with my siblings. There was even sledding behind the pick-up on the trace of snow on the road.
I also got to have lunch with some of my high school friends. We really missed those of you who couldn't be there (but are counting on Emily to plan a spring retreat. How's that for pressure?).
Then: 1997
Jana, Leslie, Brook & Kristen: Ice skating on New Years Eve
and now
Just 12 years, 15 babies, 4 mini-vans, and 4 short "mom" haircuts later (I mean short & sassy!). (Actually, I'm quite sure Brook drives something bigger than a mini-van?!)
Great to see everyone!!!!

Wow....how do you come up with those old pictures! It was great to see you and have lunch and catch up in person, even though we follow blogs. Sounds like your Thanksgiving was fun and Kim had a full house.
I'm glad you had such a great time. I love this time of year and being with Family is a huge part of it.
Thank you for picking an old picture that i don't look like a scary Idaho teenager in.
Great seeing you.
Have a happy Holidays!
ps...my new ring tone is bing crosby singing jingle bells...think of you all the time.
Looks like the family all had a great time together and that's what Thanksgiving is all about.
You girls are still looking great, also.
How I wish I could have been there. So fun! Yes, I'm still planning on it. I need to hit up Kim again about the cabin or try to come up with something else.
So sad I missed the lunch. I'm sure it was tons of fun. You look great! Better at 30 than you did at 18 - I'm jealous :)
Fun times!
