Thanksgiving!

We went to Utah to spend Thanksgiving with family this year.

This is the first time we've traveled back home for Thanksgiving since we moved to Chicago almost twelve years ago.  It was fun to be with family again and to pack a lot into our week there!

I made my dad and early Christmas present--a quilt with pictures of all of us the last few years.

I told him then we'd always be watching him when he hangs us on the banister by his chair!

Aunt Brittany, Aunt Sarah and Aunt Kelsey entertained the girls one day with gingerbread houses!

The girls love to hang out with their cousins and having a fun activity made it even better!

We introduced our kids to the lights on Temple Square-

it was beautiful and fun, even with the crowds!

 And just hanging out with Grandma is always a good time!

Nora loves to cuddle-and Grandma and Grandpa are happy to be the cuddlers of choice...
