My Mom planned every little detail out and made the week perfect for all us. She is wonderful! We ate, played games, laughed, saw Twilight (with my Mom and sister-in-laws), found out my brother and his wife Ashley are having another boy ! (Yey!) , some played in a Turkey bowl, shopped, etc. It was a crazy, but perfect week.
My Mom, Haley, and I preparing the food
The Fam enjoying all of the food. It was so good and we all ate way too much!
Then it was on to the Thanksgiving story and sharing what we are all grateful for. I just love these moments!
This year my parents are only going to have 2 kids home for Christmas. The 3 married kids are with in-laws and Chris is on a mission. So, my Mom wanted to end of the week celebrating Christmas together. We exchanged gifts, had a gingerbread house contest, and even had a surprise visit from Santa!
All of the houses, but the winner was...
Rich and Kristen! They definitely took the most time! Love these 2!
Haley with Santa. She was a little scared at first, but warmed up to him in the end!
Finally, my sweet Sister-in-Law Ashley helped me take some 6 month pictures of little Kate. Kate is so sweet and adorable. I absolutely LOVE the stage she is at right now. She sits up, loves to cluck her tongue, is so happy and smiley, and really, just makes us so happy. I just want her to freeze right now and not get any older.
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Baby Kate is so beautiful and growing up too fast! I'm so glad you were able to spend Thanksgiving with your family. And I love seeing pictures of your mom and her fun traditions - I want to be just like her when my kids are grown up and married!
I sure miss you girl!
Little Kate is so adorable, and we can't wait to meet her! Were not sure if we'll make it to Cali, so hopefully we can meet up in Utah. When will you be in Utah?
Kate really is an adorable baby. Love the pictures.
What a fun week. You have such a fun family!
How fun! Your little kids are so cute!~ I think I take living by my family for granted and don't give my husband enough support for not living by his... I'm glad you got to spend time with them! Happy holidays!!
your kids are getting so big. they are beautiful!! Hope we dont miss each other next time your up!! :)
It look like so much fun!!
It was fun to visit the other night! i love the Gingerbread houses.
Looks like you had such a wonderful holiday! Being away from family is the worst! It's probably the only bad thing about being married. :( I'm so excited to spend Christmas with my family.
Your children are beautiful. I can't believe how much Kate looks like Tyler in that first picture!!
You really do have the best mom in the world. I told her I keep checking your blog in hopes to get a glimpse of her. I loved being able to see you when you came to visit. I miss Provo a lot. I love your blog, because I still feel like I'm still in the loop.
