Happy Thanksgiving

 We were so lucky to get a whole week off for THANKSGIVING!  So we decided to head down to AZ to be with EVERYONE!  Luckily we had a whole week because the trip down to AZ takes ALL DAY!!!  The kids actually did really well in the car.   We had such great weather of course and got to SWIM and PLAY all day with our cousins that live SO FAR AWAY!!!  Here are a few pictures of what we did!  Thanks Nana and Papi for letting us come and play!  

 We enjoyed jumping on the trampoline!
 Celebrating Brooke and Rhead's THIRD Birthday!!!
Brooke wanted cookie dough and Rhead asked for a Chirstmas tree so Nana made sure they got their ONE and only Birthday wish!!! haa haa!  It was hilarious that when you asked them what they wanted for their Birthday that is what they said.  But they were also excited when Rhead got some horses and Brooke got a doll!  Brooke also got a play dough set and Rhead HOT WHEELS! They also enjoyed watching LION KING home from AZ thanks to their cousins! 
 Enjoying the AZ SUN!
 Got to rid in a boat to the pool!
 Christmas in NOVEMBER!!!  TOO FUN!!  Santa must really think these kids have been EXTRA GOOD!
 Tutu and DOLLS!  What more could a girl WANT!!
 Homemade COOKIES are always a MUST HAVE at Nana's house!!  We love COOKIE DOUGH!

 Can't get enough of these girls in their tutus!  I wish I could wear a tutu all day long!!  Bet Justin would love that!! haa haaa!!!
 Rhead and the GIRLS!!  Glad Ashley is having a BOY in Feb!
 Carden and Luke!  Best buds!
 McKay enjoyed seeing his close cousin Conrad!  Such a sweet boy!

 Justin and me on our 7th ANNIVERSARY!!!!!    Went to the temple and I really think Carden was touched when he watched the family film.  It was really cute watching Carden at the temple.  At first he was really sad because he wanted to ride home with Nana in her "RACE CAR" but then when we started to walk around and watch the film you could see his whole attitude change.  He was happy to be there with our family and felt the spirit.
 Sadly I don't think I will get a CHRISTMAS picture out this year!  So this might just have to be it for the year!!!!   HAPPY THANKSGIVING and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

 Brooke with our newest cousin BABY LUCY!  We loved holding her!  She is the cutest baby!
 We couldn't leave AZ without making a CUTE AND YUMMY Ginger bread house!  That was so FUN!  The kids loved all the fun activities and most of all playing with their cousins and Nana and Papi!  So glad we got to come down to see everyone!  We feel so blessed to have had that opportunity.  Thanks everyone for the GREAT MEMORIES!!!
