Happy Thanksgiving.

Gobble gobble.. We usually go to the Watson's for Thanksgiving. This year they took off to the east coast. That left us to our own thanksgiving.. We were planning on just doing our own little thing and slowly our party grew. Wahoo!! I love me a party!!
I found this fun craft on pinterest. So cute. I didn't get the feathers painted.. but it didn't stop the girlies from having fun..

Dinner.. yum.. everyone chipped in.. I am all about stress free.. I made what I would normally make for my family.. and everyone added to it.. so it ended up being a feast.
This is my very favorite fruit salad. YUM!! I can't ever make it as good as my mom does.. glad she was able to make it for us.
I branched out this year. {YIKES!}

I am usually terrified of yeast.. But I decided to make homemade rolls this year.. and.. and.. they turned out amazing. Why did I ever purchase rolls before?? You have a party... I'll bring the rolls. :)

I heart this guy.. Whip cream anyone??

My big boy!! He is full of personality. I have no idea what he is doing here.. but it makes me laugh!

Cousin time..

My beautiful momma.

Sissy..

Grandma.. Love this lady.. So grateful she was able to spend thanksgiving with us.

Two of my favorite boys..

Brooke and I put together this fun little craft.. The kids had a blast with it!






We got a surprise visit that evening.. not the best picture.. but we wanted to include them in our very fun day. Thanks for stopping by..

So much to be grateful for. So blessed. Happy Thanksgiving..

Turkey Trot

These boys got up bright and early with their dad on Thanksgiving morning. They headed out to run in the local turkey trot. They played and played their little hearts out before the race even started. Lots and lots of practice runs left little energy to actually "race!!" By the looks of these pictures everything turned out just fine... because these boys had such a great time being with each other. I love these boys and their daddy. I hope they will always be the bestest buddies.

Museum

Scouts switched to Wednesday nights. Wednesday for us have always been our busiest afternoon/evening. {boo!} That meant. .. no scouts for Max. I love the scouting program {and so does Max} so we try to participate when we can and we are having a blast passing things off at home. For this activity we went to the Bean Museum on BYU campus. We decided to invite Grandma and cousins!! Everyone had a great time.. Grandma all the way down to Lo*bug!!

Trafalga

Trafalga is one of our favorite places to go.. Unlimited fun times. So with Papa and Nana in town we jetted down after school to burn some energy and build some memories.. . I took pics of some of our favorite activities..
Rock climbing..



"The frogger." Lots of laughs on this silly ride.. I've been on it! I don't get this ride.. It's not fun for a 34 year old momma, but the kids LOVE it!! Laugh on kiddies!

Lazer tag.. . this is one of my favorites. Especially when the group all breaks up and you can be against each other. Lots of fun.


And lastly, and most importantly.. THE PEOPLE!!! So much fun to play our hearts out with some of our family. These three didn't do a lot of the activities but it was so much fun to have them there with us..


Thanks for the fun times everyone!
