Thanksgiving

This year for Thanksgiving we jumped into my parents car and drove with them (and my 2 little sisters who still live at home) to Colorado Springs where we met up with the rest of my family. My sister and her husband drove down from Utah and my brother and his new wife drove down from Utah also.

 So we were all there together
(except for my brother Nathan who is on his mission in Argentina)

Thanksgiving morning several of us went and played some frisbee golf. That afternoon we had our thanksgiving meal. I found it funny how everyone was sitting around watching as my dad carved the turkey.....we were hungry!!

And the food was worth the waiting!! Sitting at the head of the table is Jeff and my sister Jamie next to him---they so willing let us all invade their house for 3 days.

  

Even the kids had their own table.

Mikayla enjoyed playing with her cousin Rachel.  

And Austin and Tyler instantly bonded...especially playing Mario on the DS together. 

It was fun getting to know Jenna (our new sister in law)

Thursday night me and Craig stood outside Best Buy for 2 hours so we could get a good deal on some Christmas presents. Meanwhile my dad, Brandon, and Jenna went to Wal-mart to do some Black Friday shopping. They picked up these Mario sweatshirts for the boys.  

Around the corner from my sister's house was Dairy Queen...which is one of Craig's favorite places he went to with his family growing up. So of course we had to go, and he got Butterscotch dilly bars for the kids just as he always used to do. 

It was fun being able to spend a few days with my family. We played games, did some shopping, went to see the movie "The Help" (loved it!!!), and just enjoyed spending time together. 

And the kids had a great time playing with their cousins. 

It was a Happy Thanksgiving for sure!!
