Thanksgiving Trip!!!

This year for Thanksgiving we went up to Salt Lake to be with Cason's mom. All of his sister's their families and his brother were there. It was tons of fun and loved being together with everyone. Although the weather was freezing it was a great jump start for the holiday season!!!
This was my first time seeing the lights at temple square. They are gorgeous!!! I couldn't believe how many were up.
At temple square before the lights came on!!!It was fun to have all the family together. This is the first picture besides Carli's wedding that we were able to get everyone together!!!
All the boys
The Thanksgiving Feast!!!
Ella was stealing everyone's Jell-O
I love this picture of Ella and Cason.
We stayed at the Marriott across from the temple. It was freezing. Luckily they had a huge fireplace in their lobby!

This video is hilarious!!! After Thanksgiving dinner all the family went BOARDING!!! (Cason really wanted to snow board but unfortunately...there was no snow). So a box and a steep hill had to do. All of us were laughing SO hard. Ella on the other hand cried because she thought that her daddy got hurt! (Sorry you'll have to watch it sideways)

I am glad that you had a great thanksgiving! Did you get the talking to from Grandma and Aunt Peggy--because you would not be there and that it would be no fun without kids around! How are you feeling? You are getting so close!

Looks like a blast! I LOVE Temple Square--it IS so pretty!

All your pics are so great!

I have to admit, I was glad to be in 70 degree weather instead of Utah's bitter cold this year!

Ella looks adorable in all of her pictures! It definately was a lot colder up there than it is here in Vegas! We didn't really even have any winter clothes to bring with us! I wish we could have gotten together, maybe we can again before our babies come. We're both so close!
