We were lucky enough to be at Grandma and Grandpa's house for Thanksgiving! It was so fun to be in Albuquerque with them in their beautiful new home. We had a wonderful visit. We missed seeing Jordon & Sara, be we got to visit with Dane & Emmy, had fun playing with Eden and got to meet baby Zia (so cute!). We also had a great time hanging out with Kellie & KC and the kids had fun wrestling with Isaac and playing with Eliza. We're so glad they stayed around. Thanks everyone!!
Early Christmas present! Grandma and Grandpa got the kids a rocket blaster! Once we figured out the rockets we had a great time blasting them off and trying to catch them.
Maggie really loved it.
Thanksgiving Day. A perfect meal as always, thanks Mom & Dad! We are always so well taken care of at Grandma and Grandpa's. They really make it a vacation for us.:)
Huge excitement, it snowed!! The kids we're thrilled! It came at night in big chunky snowflakes. So they had to go to bed and wait until morning to play. And bright and early they dressed warmly and headed outside.
What better way to play in snow but to have a huge snowball fight! It was kids against Grandma (what a good sport, as always). It was so fun. S. Californians don't get much snow.
Grandma got out the clogging costumes she MADE for Brookie and Kellie when she used to run a clogging school. Yes, she had 5 kids, babysat more kids, was Primary Pres., made the girls clothes, ran a clogging school and made the costumes!! And that was just the tip of the iceberg. We seriously don't know how she did all that she did. She is all of our idol.
The girls looked so cute trying them on. Bring back memories Brookie?
To get the Christmas season going, Grandma and Ellie got out the Christmas decorations and went to town while everybody else went to the movies. Yeah, Christmas!
Thanks again for a wonderful trip-we love you!!
