This Thanksgiving break was a nice needed break from school, but didn't seem long enough. We had Thanksgiving dinner at my dad's house with all of my siblings except my brother and his family. My brother Travis is in the Air Force and is over in Korea right now for a year tour. His family is in Virginia waiting for him to get back and we are all counting the days. So his family and him couldn't come because of that. Everyone else was there and it was a lot of fun all craming into my dad's house and sitting all at one table. When I first saw my oldest neice who is 12 I actually started to tear up. She is the same height as me and she is such a young women now. She has started to wear makeup and she is just beautiful. Then that night we went to Brian's parents house and had pie with his family and got into a big whip cream fight thanks to my brother in law Shane. I was the last one to get it and i fought hard, but Brian got me to the ground and Shane smeared it all over my face. It was a lot of fun. Then we just hung out with both families for the rest of the weekend. On Saturday we went with my family and did our annual christmas tree run. We go up to Driggs, Idaho and we cut down real trees. Brian and I decided to go a little bigger this year for ours. I will get pictures of the done decorated tree when we are finished but we only have the lights on right now. But here are some pictures of the fun that we had with the family finding and cutting down the trees.
Here is beautiful picture of the Tetons on the way to Driggs.
Here is Abby. She couldn't put her arms down very easily. Like the little brother on Christmas Story!
Here is my oldest neice Alexie with my youngest neice Abby.
This is Grant and Brian cutting down our tree.
Lexie and my dad carrying trees back to the vehicles.
This is the Scoliosis tree that we have noticed the past two years. Brian wanted to get a picture of me with it because I also have scoliosis like this tree!! It looks like my spine!
This is the part of my family that went. Starting in the back from left to right:Tyler, Grant, Dad and Brian. Then the front from left to right: Tracy, Denice holding Abby, Alexie, Tanner, Mom and me. And the dog in the picture is my brother Tyler's, Beau.
We had a lot of fun with both families this Thanksgiving and it was so fun to see everyone there. Love all of you and hope that everyone had a nice Thanksgiving!
