Thanksgiving

Surprisingly, we spent Thanksgiving in Arizona with my family. Since Ryan and I have been married, we've never gone down to Arizona at this time of year, so it really was fun to be in 75 degree weather. We planned on being in SLC with Ryan's family, but Sunday came and we were both like, let's go to AZ, and we were so glad we did. We really had so much fun. So by Sunday night, we were in the car driving. We stopped in Vegas and got a hotel with a breakfast buffet. As you can see, it made us all very happy. The food was soooo good.






We actually drove by the Hoover Dam and they have tons of construction going on. It was an awesome sight to see--they'll being finishing it pretty soon, I think.

And of course, a huge reason we went was so I could see all the new babies in my family. Here I am with Lindsay, My sister Natalie's baby. She's three weeks old. And she looks just like all her brothers and sisters. Natalie has cookie cutter kids--all adorable of course!

And here is Ellie--isn't her bow adorable? She is my brother Brett's 4th little girl. She is the oldest of the bunch...she was born in june and is sooooo darling. She has the chubbiest little legs I have ever seen.

And here is Addy--she has a ridiculous amount of hair! She smiles sooo much and it was so fun to finally see her. She is my brother Greg's first baby. It's always so fun to see what each of your siblings kids look like. They all have such different little looks.

And here is Lexie with her little cousin Baylee--they're 4 months apart. They were inseperable when Baylee came over to play. It makes me sad that I my kiddos don't get to see their cousins very often, but when they do it really is super fun!

Here are all the grand kids with my parents. Quite a bunch now huh? I guess that's what you get when you come from a family of 8 eh? I must admit, I think I have quite a good looking family--isn't it obvious with all those cute kiddos?

After Thanksgiving we had a little party for my soon to be SIL Kayla. She and Trent are getting married in January and since I'm the only one who gets to see her all the time the rest of the girls wanted to do a little something for her. We had fun going to dinner and then to NEW MOON. Quite the girly afternoon. We all had fun!
