Well the week started out with just hanging out with family and of course that means playing with my nephews and since it is fall that means that there is a ton of leaves to play with!!
Next comes the trip. My parents wanted to do something special for our family since we would all be together. So we took a little trip to a little place called El Paso, Texas. and to make it even more special my dad thought it would be fun if we all traveled together in one big car! :) Or should I say a 15 passenger van!
It was indeed a very special trip! As you can tell from every one's faces in the picture below, especially Krystle, Jamie, and Sarah.
Ah the Hotel! We got to El Paso Wednesday Night where we went to our hotel to rest up for the next day!
The El Paso, Texas Thanksgiving Day Parade! The parade was about 2 hours long I think but it was ton of fun even though we had to sit on the cement, which none of us really cared about. Although I think our Butts cared after the parade was finished and we all stood up! But it was fun. Dad especially wanted us to see the parade because it is something that he enjoyed as a kid and he wanted to share it with us! and that made it even more special.
Well you can't do Thanksgiving with out some food of course! I think the pilgrims would be very upset at us especially if we did not do some sort of decent food eating on Thanksgiving Day. So in order to not make the Pilgrims mad at us and to satisfy our stomachs we traveled about an hour to get to a restaurant that served a pretty decent Thanksgiving meal. Granted it was not as good as Mom's turkey/ feast that she would have made but it was still pretty good. See everyone is Happy even my brothers and dad so it must have been pretty good!
My brother Matt was especially feeling the love....... See how much love he is showing our sister!
Well After we ate our thanksgiving Dinner we headed home. But the following day all of us siblings and their spouses got together and decided that we would do a little scavenger hunt for our parents. They had to go from place to place around and in our house to find puzzle pieces and then they had to put the puzzle pieces together and then answer the question. Which asked where mom and dad wanted to eat? But they had to choose different places because it was going to be a boys night out and a girls night out.
So us girls took mom out to Olive Garden, It was a very fun and delicious night!
Well then comes the saddest time, when it is time for all to depart and go back to their homes. :( which means it is time to say See ya later!
This picture below is right before everyone was gonna leave. Well it is all of my nephews together with their aunt sneaking a spot into the picture.
See ya Later Matt and Jamie!
See ya Later Josh and Krystle!
And See ya Later Sarah, Micah, Benson, Taft, and Amulek!
It was an Excellent Thanksgiving and I can't wait until the next holiday when we can all be together for some more family fun!!!!! :)
