Thanksgiving

We thought Bryan was on call Thanksgiving Day.  Turns out he wasn't.  So last minute we decided that for the first time in oh....ten years we would actually go back to visit our families for the big day.  Right before we left, Bryan went out and blew all the leaves off the lawn and the girls had to go and play in the little pile he left for them.

 We drove to Salem and spent Thanksgiving Day with Bryan's family.  Patricia worked so hard on all the food and we had such a great day.  We spent the morning at Grandma's house playing with cousins.  I couldn't believe how beautiful the weather was while we were there.  We didn't even need coats!

 Those gorgeous Utah mountains.

 All of the cooking that was going on.  So much of it.

 We went to our Brother in Law Ryan's office for the dinner because there was lots of space for the kids to play.  Grandma had set up a really fun craft table for the kids.  They enjoyed that very much.

 These girls definitely know how to craft.

 The girls with all of their cousins.  They played so hard this day.  All their little faces were just bright red by the end of the evening.  Lots of running, lots of playing.  Ryan had 500 glowing bouncy balls that he released in a big room for them.  Chaos, screaming and fun ensued.

 The yummy food.

 Phil and Kacie.

 Lily napped for most of the dinner.  She woke up and helped herself to some rolls.

 These three girls are all just one month apart.  I think it's so fun for them.  Ryan also gave them matching tshirts to wear.

 Lily and cute Ilene.

 After Thanksgiving we headed to Evanston to spend a little time with my family as well.  Since the weather was so nice we headed to the pit to have hot dogs and marshmallows.  It was pretty muddy but so much fun.  It was great to spend some time outside.

 We end up smelling like smoke but it is well worth it.

 We also went to see Frozen at the nasty local theatre.  I kid you not, this place has not changed at all since I was a little girl.  Not one bit.  That being said, It was such a cute movie and my girls all loved it.  Even Lily made it through the whole thing.  She only terrorized everyone for a small bit near the end.

 Adam and Camille were there as well with their adorable twins.  I don't think Lily left their side.  I'm sure she just drove Adam and Camille nuts but she just loved those babies.  Julia was super excited about them as well.

 Just too cute I tell you!

Thanks to all the family that spent the holiday with us.  It was so much fun being with everyone!
