Happy Family... Happily Giving Thanks!!



YEP! She LOVES her Daddy... she is so dang cute we could just pick her up and put her in our pocket FOREVER!


We had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. We went to Deer Hollow, my families ranch in Utah and it was wonderful! It is a long drive for us about 8 1/2 hours if you don't stop and 12 if you have 5 kids :) thank goodness weather was good and traffic on I70 was surprisingly mellow. It was a few fun days of great eating and good times. We made 4 turkeys, with nearly 50 people to feed, that did the trick! The kids had a blast with their cousins riding 4 wheelers, horse drawn wagon ride, hot tubing, den parties with Hot Chocolate and just being kids.

While we were there, my sweet brother Chris took some pictures of our family in the freezing cold. One of which we are going to be using for our Christmas card this year so I won't be sharing that one at this time.... but soon, very soon! Here is a small preview of the other ones he did for us. All in all it was a great holiday with SO much to be grateful for!!!!!!!


Horse drawn wagon ride the pilg's did.





"NO more kisses DAD.... look at that wolverine face... do you blame me?"


Thanks Chris for all these great pictures!

I wish you would just tack on another 4 hours and drive here for crying out loud. What gives? Despite my rage toward you guys for neglecting to ever come visit...I still love ya, and your family is darn georgeous! Daidy is a real live little girl now, toddler-dom is over! All my love to the rest of the fam...especially my bro.
