Thanksgiving Week...(I am thankful for Aimee and her camera!)

Aimee saves the day again with her camera. She took these pictures of us, I had a million more on my camera that is now in a dumpster somewhere in Utah, but these ones are great and I am so glad she took them. I just wish she was there for all of our trip, especially the polar express!
Here we are at the lighting of Temple Square. It was so fun and the kids loved all the lights. There was a really beautiful Nativity scene and it was all lit up and there was music and the story was told over the loud speaker. It was really beautiful!
Jade was in awe, I think we all were.


I look forward to this gorgeous statue every time I go up there. There is such a reverence and magnificence about Him.

I LOVE this picture of my parents, it is such a beautiful shot of them and the temple. I love everything about it!

My sister Kait, going the extra mile for the perfect shot!



My fun sisters at Tassia's wedding! We have the best time together, I can't wait for them to come home for Christmas!
Sweet Jadey Bug quickly turned into tired Jadey Bug!

Micah was shooting webs at Tassia's new Grandpa-in-law, it was really sweet because the Grandpa thought that Micah was doing sign language for I love you, nope, sorry, he was shooting you with his webs!

Love this picture...so beautiful!

With my sisters again!!!

We're all obsessed with Kait, she is just so fun to be around! Can't you tell!

More kisses for Jade!

My gorgeous sister Aimee, she can't help it!



Mini Snow Ball fights!



The kiddos just loved Aimee's hammock, (Kait is included in those kiddos!)

We went snow tubing up in Park City and it was the highlight of Micah's trip. He still talks about it everyday and is desperate to get back there and inside one of those tubes!

Jade really loved it too, she is kind of a thrill seeker, especially for being such a little thing, she has no fear!
Are you kidding me with this photo...I love you Aimee!


The whole family! Please excuse Micah's pink boots, (the are Brielle's) and my overly puffy jacket...what? It was cold!

My two boys!


Love this one of Jade and her Gigi!

And of course, everyone needed a turn riding down the hill with Jade, so you could see her smile and hear her giggle!

This is our fun Aunt Leane, that we are so blessed to spend the holidays with! Children are drawn to her, we were as children and now Jade and Micah can't get enough! They love playing and reading and singing with their Aunt Leane!

We had to take some timeout for the swings!

Unfortunately, Little Jade fell off the swing, how you ask? Ask Kiki! Haha!

My mom with her "adopted" son, Vahe! We ate Thanksgiving Dinner at Vahe and Leisha's house. It was so fun and the food was amazing and man was there food!!! Plus Leisha made some of the best pie's I have ever had in my life! We are so lucky to have them as a part of our family! And their new baby Kyah, who is the sweetest angel you'll ever meet. She is so calm and peaceful! We just love them! They took some pictures too, so once I get those I will put them up!

Jade is her Daddy's girl...notice the huge spoonful of peanut butter!

Jade and Micah were completely enamored by little baby Kyah! They couldn't get enough, they wanted to hold her and kiss her and snuggle her every second. They could hardly focus on anything else! I don't blame them!

Jade had some serious static cling issues at this point! And she has no idea!


Jade with her uncle Jake! It was fun to see Kim and Jake together as a married couple. They were so cute and in love and it was fun to see their apartment together and their little love notes stashed all over the place! We are so lucky to have Jake officially as part of our family, we feel like he has been a part of us forever! Jake's brother Mike also came and we had the best time with him! He is so fun and we wished he had stayed longer! I got to sit by him in our "traditional" thanksgiving movie, The Blind Side, such an amazing movie, and don't worry it was his third time seeing it! (Must be the college football thing!) So, when I had questions I was in luck!

What? Doesn't everyone drink M&M's?
We had so much fun and we stayed with our great friends Chris and Tiffany! And we had a blast with them, when Mitch and Chris get together, they turn into like 15 year olds and stay up all night hanging out and playing video games! Unfortunately I have no pictures of them from this trip, but we were so lucky to stay and play with them.

I'm impressed with how many pictures your sister got! She scored! I know you still wish you had your camera, but at least you've got Utah covered:) It was SO fun seeing you guys the other night and can't wait for more of those to come!:)

I can totally empathize with Jade and the static cling. It's one of the few things I don't like about Utah.

And yes, I drink M&Ms quite often.

Loves.
