Thankgiving


Jordan had a week off from school for Thanksgiving. He has been so busy this semester so a week off was much needed! We spent it with family in Utah. It was so much fun! We drove down on Wednesday. And here is a breakdown of our fun filled days in Utah:
Wednesday
  • Made the 4hr drive, Calin did GREAT! (It was his first long drive)
  • Took family pictures for Matt, Mickie & Ty (I'll post them later, they turned out great)
  • Went to Will & Kristen's (Mickie's sister) for dinner with the Braggs
Thanksgiving Thursday
  • Jordan, Matt, Preston & Suzanne played football with Matt's ward in the morning
  • Went to Kristen & Will's for dinner that afternoon then took naps and relaxed
  • Went to Mickie's grandparent's and had pie with the Coombs and Maxwells. YUM! So many delicious desserts to choose from! (I went with Mickie's Heathbar cheesecake :)
  • After pie we went bowling then headed back to Matt & Mickie's.
I love these B&W's of Ty!
By the end of the day we were all matching :)

Friday
  • Jordan woke up early to do a little shopping.
  • We all met up in American Fork to see "The Blind Side" - great movie! And again, Calin did so well!
  • Jordan and I did some shopping in American Fork
  • Went down to Kristen and Will's and when everyone headed to the BYU basketball game, Jordan and I headed back to Matt & Mickies to get some rest.
*Jason and Sierra - Kristen and Will's kids - so sweet!

Saturday
  • Packed up our stuff and headed down to Kristen and Will's again to meet up with everyone else.
  • I took some pictures of the Bragg grandkids (still working on them to try to get at least one that is decent, lol)
  • Had some lunch, and headed back up to Rexburg while everyone else went to the BYU vs U of U game.
*how cute is this pic of Calin (on the left) and Ty! Less than 3 months apart, they are going to have sooo much fun together :)
It was such a fun weekend! We weren't used to doing so much fun stuff! And I wasn't sure how Calin would do with so much going on, but he did so well! He loved playing with Ty already. I can't wait to see how much fun they have together in a couple years!
We love having family so close! It won't be like this forever, so we better take advantage of it now! Nate and Kelly came to visit this past Saturday. They only live 1.5 hours away, but it seems so far since we're used to having them right next door for the past few years! I just love my nephews! All my family really! But all my nephews are so dang cute and fun!

Whew, good recap! I am suprised you remember so well. Great pictures of my little Ty AND of Sierra and Jason! We loved having you guys, sorry to do SO MUCH and run you guys around.

P.S. Ty came down with the cold a few days after you left and he promply gave it to me then I gave it to Matt... I think we'll all be good to go tomorrow. Matt is home sick today.

What fun memories!! Thanks for your comments on our blog. We have a Sony Cybershot--sorry I keep forgetting to tell you. It's just a regular digital camera but hopefully I can save up some money for a nicer one!
