Thanksgiving in St. George

We went to St. George for Thanksgiving which has become a little tradition. We always miss those we leave behind up north, but it is fun to get away (which is rare for us) and see those we don't live close to. Here are some of the highlights...

Cody had uncles and cousins to wrestle with non-stop. He was in heaven. On our last day, Uncle Brooks was deflating the air mattresses, which turned into more rough-housing.

We did some shopping, which is always a treat. We put the kids to bed and took off to experience the tail end of Black Friday. Grandpa Bob was nice enough to stay home with the kids while they slept. The poor guy had to watch ESPN the entire time we were gone. We actually found a few things. Luckily, none of the items we purchased are featured in this picture.

A weekend at Nana's wouldn't be complete without late night parties in the craft room. I love doing projects with everyone. This year we made greeting cards, duct tape purses (which turned out so cute), and pajama pants. Cody even got into it this year. He made pictures for everyone using die cuts and stamps. He is down on the floor with Raquel in this picture. He was too excited about his projects to even look up for a picture.

My cute husband. He spent a lot of his time preparing his admissions essay for grad school while we were there. He works so hard, but always seems to balance his time and make his family feel special in between all he has going on.

We went to the St. George temple to see the lights.

More wrestling. For probably a half an hour Cody ran around in a circle while the guys threw pillows at him, knocking him down. Cody was begging for more. The only problem is now that Cody is just around his mom all day he is getting pretty bored. I am no fun.

Here is Cody eating with his cousin, Nikki.

 

On Thanksgiving Day we hiked to Johnson's Arch. It was sprinkling, but it was so much fun. Here is Kylee hiking with her dad.

Thanks Nana and Grandpa Bob for a wonderful weekend--for opening your home to us and making us feel so loved. We love you!
