We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with our daughter Renee and 3 of her children. This is beautiful Oslo from the Holmenkollen Ski Jump. The weather was perfect and they loved being around the missionaries. Our son from London joined us for a few days too! A perfect Thanksgiving weekend!

And of course the Turkey Bowl….
We tried several fields before we found one that was not frozen solid. This one had real grass and was hard as rock with patches of ice everywhere.
Ready to play!
I took lots of pictures that I will share with the missionaries on google drive. A great time had by all!
Poor Emma struggling with a little jet lag!
Our daughter Renee, Sister Robinson, President Hill and Elder Robinson. Great fans!

And the team that did not win…. 🙁
Minimal injuries….long sleved shirts and long pants would have been a good idea!

Mission Leadership Council…
The Zone Leaders and Sister Training Leaders at the mission home on a snowy Tuesday.
I set the timer on the camera and ran….right when I stopped my feet flew up and down I went! We laughed until we cried! I love the look on the missionaries faces! No one knew quite what to do!

Sister Hill, thank for taking time out of your busy day to do this blog. It is so exciting to be able to see Elder Dawes.
It is so fun to know so many of these missionaries now (at least through our missionary). As always, everyone looks so happy in your care. When I asked Elder Wakefield what he was grateful for at Thanksgiving he listed 3 things – you and Pres. Hill made that list. Love you and hope you are enjoying a wonderful holiday season.
Thank you for sharing! I love the joy in everyone’s faces!
Thank you for sharing so many photos. You take such amazing care of all the missionaries and each one of them is lucky to have you.
These are the best photos! Thank you for your extraordinary love and care for these sweet missionaries. I love that you give them opportunities to laugh and play and have fun. 🙂
What an adorable family you have. There are some very good cooks coming out of there at the end of their missions.
