Thanksgiving Family Reunion

http://www.tmcustomportraits.com/proofs/Jensen

We had such a wonderful time being together and the days went by way too fast. The kids played together amazingly well and stayed in the basement which was very convenient for us adults! Eat, talk, eat, talk, repeat. The food was plentiful and we have much to be thankful for. We watched BYU win in overtime over Utah - life just doesn't get better than that!

Family pictures came together relatively easily, special thanks to those who planned the clothing.

We are just so blessed as a family! Here are words to a song by Michael McLean that came to my mind as it all drew to a close...

Well, it's hard to say goodbye and let go.
And it's hard to see it end.
When the memories we've just made may never happen again.
But it's harder for time to ever erase,
The together times we've shared.
So, when we're apart remember
All the love we've shared together;
And for all that love,
Thank the Lord above who showed us the way
That we can be together forever someday.
We can be together forever someday.

Barbeque Slug Fest

I'm not sure how it started, but for the family reunion we had a talent show where the subject was "Barbecue Slugs". Each family developed an act for the subject. All of them turned out imaginative and we had lots of fun watching the acts and laughing our heads off. Raps, rock and primary songs were great - but I have to share the words for this one Angel & Brad came up with. It is set to the tune of the Beverly Hillbillies...

Let me tell you a story about a man named Dan
In a "Micky Dee's" is where it all began
He had mad skills cookin' on the "Bar-bee"
And that's how he won the heart of Beverly!

Church that is...

Well they got hitched and had a family
Money was tight and they were hungry
So off Dan went to hunt 'em some food
When up from the ground come a slitherin' crude.

Slugs that is..."Washington Prime"...

Well home he came with 'em all in his hat
Beverly said "What the Heck is that?"
He said "Not sure, but I think it's food,
So grab some buns an' fire up the Bar-B-Que!"

Don't forget the Salt!

So now each year the story's told
To all our kin both young and old
How Bar-B-Que Slugs came to be-e-e-e...
The best tradition of the Jensen Family!

Then they danced a hoe-down and played air ukulele. It was great!
You all come back now, ya-hear?
