Give Thanks

We were so blessed this year to have my sister Rebecca and her family come down for Thanksgiving. They were so excited to come down to the sun, which they did get, but unfortunately it did rain on Thanksgiving Day. We mostly relaxed with them, we did go to a few parks and a movie(quite the experience with Dylon!!), but we didn't overbook their days while here. One reason being is that after they left here they headed down to Southern California to surprise their kids with Disneyland. Their kids were completely clueless. In fact when we talked to my nephew he said he was going to school this week and was really excited. Hopefully he wasn't too disappointed when they end up in the Disneyland parking lot Monday morning!
It was nice to have my sister here to help out with Thanksgiving dinner. I've never cooked Thanksgiving dinner before. I was mostly concerned about the turkey, but it doesn't seem to difficult, just follow the directions on the bag. Next year we'll have to experiment with seasoning it. If anyone wants to go on a vacation next November, just let us know - book your Thanksgiving trip with us now:)
Dylon loved every minute of them being here, it makes us that much more excited to come to Utah for Christmas. He sure loved following his cousin Parker around. Poor guy seems a little bored this week with it just the two of us during the day again. Not only did he have his cousins here, but Dwayne had all of last week off too. What a nice break for all of us.
Here are a few fun pics of the riparian reserve
that we went to on Thanksgiving.
Are these two characters related??

Who knows...we could be there next year too??? Still waiting to hear from the U, but Midwestern is looking like the best choice so far!
