Thanksgiving '08

Bradley, Luke, Khloee, Payton, RJ

Christmas is just around the corner but I wanted to make sure I jotted a few fond memories down from Thanksgiving this year. We had such a fun time and I am so glad that we took the chance to travel to Layton this year and spend time with family that we don't get to see as often. The kids were so excited they had a calendar in Tanner's room counting down the day's till we left. The only problem was that Tanner would X out a day and then Luke would go in and X out a day so the countdown was going faster than the actual days were and they were getting perturbed at me that I kept moving the date back!

Here is my gratitude list from the pictures I took this THANKFUL weekend.

I am so Thankful for . . . .

These two cute girls that I hope will grow up loving each other and being the best of friends.

A husband who is still a kid at heart and thinks he can keep up with them. (Which I think he showed them he still had a few moves, but oh my, did he complain later about muscles that he forgot he even had.)

Kandice, Misti & baby Julia all bundled up.

Cute sisters to share the drive and the weekend with! I didn't get one of Trudi but I was glad she was there and I think she is cute too! We missed Cheri but we did get to share a few moments together across the phone lines as we tried to get the hot deals on Friday Morning. And once again, super cute sister!

Kyla, Payton, Porter, RJ

Cousins to share memories of some first experiences with, like our first exciting train ride! (can you feel Porter and RJ's excitement).

The trip to Temple Square to see the beautiful Christmas lights. I don't ever remember seeing the lights at temple square so I was excited to get the chance to go, even if there were a thousand other people there. Being surrounded by the masses is not exactly Kory's idea of a good time so I must thank Dave (Kandice's husband) for cheering his spirits by letting a STINKER in the middle of the visitor center that had people screaming for the exits. So yes, I am thankful Dave has rotten gas! (Typical Kory, to find a "bomb" worth the trip.)
I am thankful for our first family picture this year. Not exactly professional, but it will have to do . . . until next year I am sure.
