Thanksgiving in Utah

We were so excited to get to spend Thanksgiving in Utah with Justin's family. We arrived just in time for a Gender Party, to find out what Kirk and Linds are having!! Pink or Blue?? Everyone made their predictions...

 Yay, Uncle Joggy!

Proud Mama ... isn't she just glowing!!

Nans checks out ultra sound pictures... 

Will, also looking at ultrasound pictures... not quite sure what to think yet... but he's happy for another boy to be around in the spring! Yay for cousins!

Terese and I made these little goodies for our family and friends for Thanksgiving! cute huh,  we call them Squirrel Food.

Thursday morning marked another awesome game in the tradition of Turkey Bowl Football... the men had a wild fun game(only one person blacked out this time) meanwhile, the women watched, cheered and chatted on the sidelines -- such a fun tradition!

We had a lovely Thanksgiving dinner at Nana and Papa's house... We were having SUCH a good time, i forgot my camera! (so NOT like me) Nana had the table so beautifully set and everything was cooked and prepared to perfection! We had a wonderful time visiting with Bart and Judy, Don, Ty and Livy, Ashley, Karl and little Rowan, after dinner. We sure love our family!

Friday, the men headed out to THE NEW BOND movie and the ladies and kids skipped over to City Creek Mall to check out some Black Friday dealz. We scored at H & M when the kids found these cute outfits... dresses $10 each. Will's awesome green pants $5. and sweater $10! love.

 Saturday, we were ever-so-lucky to be invited to go 4-wheeling with the Stephens' fam way out in Delle, Utah. WHAT A FUN DAY!! Preparing a few snacks for our adventure...

It was a chilly day but the sun was shining and warmed us up pretty good! Nans and Brinley snuggling.

After getting cleaned up... we met our buddies the Rigby's at Cafe Rio for dinner. So fun to catch up after 3 months...We, moving to CO and them moving to UT... we're so grateful for their friendship and glad we could visit for a while, esp in our own private room in Cafe Rio.. hahaha...

After dinner, we headed over to visit with Nana and Papa! We always have a fun time visiting with them! Chelle and Parker came over to hang with us, too!

Papa... you are so funny!

Sunday-- time to make the drive home to CO. We had such a great time in Utah, it was hard to leave! We're already looking forward to the next visit!
