Thanksgiving 2009One of my very favorite holiday traditions is that my whole extended family (mom's side) gets together every Thanksgiving morning to go bowling. My Grandpa started the tradition with his own family to "get the kids out of Grandma's hair" while she made feast preparations and BOY did it stick!! Aside from a few out-of-town years, I have bowled every Thanksgiving morning I can remember. My sweet Grandma has a treat for everyone and Grandpa has a bucket of coins for each "kid" from age 1-92 to buy themselves a pop. It truly is the best to sit, reminisce and catch up (& oh yeah, BOWL) with loved ones that I don't see often enough! We took up 10 lanes and number somewhere close to 130! I love having these pictures with my Grandparents, they have ALWAYS been such great examples in my life!

What an incredibly cool family tradition!
I didn't know that Grandpa started this tradition by taking their kids out of grandma's hair. The things I learn reading your blog.
Love the pics too.
We've decided that since the likelihood of us ever being in Utah for t-day is slim...to keep the tradition alive wherever we live!! This past year we about 20 or so friends/kids at the bowling alley to honor the Ence tradition!!
CONGRATS on your big news!!
