Thanksgiving!!

Our Thanksgiving Feast was spent with the Taylor's this year, at Jake and Andrea's. It was 

delicious!  Cory and Shea decided to both make the turkeys, cory's traditional and shea did his Smoked.  both were amazing!!

That morning the boys played their annual football game at the Hansen's 

and then they all went skeet shooting.  After Thanksgiving, we played Bingo with the kids.

They loved their dollar prizes, which kept them entertained for hours.  

That night at 7pm we went with my sisters to see Disney's "Frozen"  it was possibly the cutest

show i've seen in a while.  Kids loved it and then i sent them home with their daddy while 

my sisters and I went "Black Friday" shopping!! 

We picked out our Christmas Tree on friday and decorated it, while making Hot chocolate

and listening to christmas music super loud!  I love Traditions!!  

I love how my little miss asked for the turkey leg! hahaha!  

***BINGO***

Our perfect tree!!  we love getting real trees it smells so wonderful!

my cutest little elves....

  Then on Saturday we went to Temple square with the Johnson cousins to see the lights 

and shoparound and then eat at "Red Rock"  it was  a perfect Thanksgiving break!

Thanksgiving break!

We enjoyed the beautiful sunshine and fabulous weather in Mesa Arizona.  We 

stayed with our taylor cousins and had a blast.

thanksgiving dinner was fabulous, jane is an amazing cook and made the two turkey's, her

famous cranberry sauce {to die for} and lots of other delicious treats.  She tried a turkey 

wrapped with bacon and it was a hit!  Cory may try to make our turkey like that from

now on.

We ate at Tia Rosa's the night before our Feast and it was delicious.  We went shopping,  

played lots of games and just enjoyed being outside in the warm sun.  

So grateful to have this beautiful and healthy family which brings me so much happiness!

feeling so blessed...

My sister Rachel was spending Thanksgiving in Chandler just about 15 minutes away from us

it was so fun to meet up with them too and swim!  They met us on Thanksgiving night at Target for some black friday shopping! haha

the best part was they just wanted to see us and hang out so they really only bought water!! haha

While shopping at Santan village they had it snowing bubbles for a few minutes.

so much to be thankful for...

we had a fabulous weekend filled with family, football, games, food {AMAZ-ing food} 

movies & shopping!  yep black friday shopping was good!!

we hosted the Taylor side this year with 30 people on Thanksgiving day and it was awesome!  

Cory made the turkey with homemade bread for the stuffing & well plenty of butter.  

BEST turkey EVER!  

cory's mom is an amazing cook, so we pretty much had the perfect feast.  

she even made her spoiled son, cory his favorite coconut creme pie.

  everything was delicious!

the morning started with a good ol game of football for the boys!  this year it was

 right out our backyard in the field.  {our backyard backs a 5 acre park}

 no fighting for a place to play!

Thanksgiving Break...

Well, our Cousins left and we are back to the same ol' routine. We had so much fun with all the Taylors Cousins! The day after Thanksgiving i took the kids (the ones who were interested) to see Santa at University Mall, he was flying in on a Helicopter! It was so Awesome, Cold but Very Awesome! The helicopter flew right over us and made it soooooo Windy and that was the Hi-lite of the Event. There was Hot chocolate, Cookies, Dancing, Christmas Music, and Jugglers who picked Brookie and Boston out of the Crowd to be part of the Juggling Act!



We Played Hard! Lots of Football, Basketball, X Box, Wii, Birthday Parties, Movies, and More...
One night we went to to a late night movie while Witney, Ally, & Brookie babysat. We saw "August Rush", it was Fabulous! (thanks girlies;)
Sunday morning they were off back to Arizona, and Boston sat on the Couch with a big grin and said, "That was the best 5 days of my life".....It was so cute!
Then we got the bug to put out all the Christmas stuff, So we are now Officially ready! One thing you must all have this Season is the "Tree" fragrance "Wallflower" from Bath & Body works! Oh it smells awesome.
Tis The season....
