Thanksgiving

We went to Lexington Kentucky this year for Thanksgiving to visit my dear friend Nancy from High school and her awesome family. We had such a good time!

The drive was a bit treacherous... well only because we have little kids. It was supposed to be an 8 hour drive. We did it in 12 on the way up. We managed to improve our time on the way back to 9.5 hours. But it was completely worth it. Spending time with good friends you've known for a long time is.... I'll be honest the only adjectives I can think of are "delicious" and "sparkly". For tonight that will have to be descriptive enough.

I think Summer had a pretty good time. She got 2 teeth the day after Thanksgiving and was pretty clingy to mommy the whole time, but she weathered it well.

This is a picture of our sweetie Belen after creating her first gingerbread house. She had a blast running around with Nancy's older kids who were so nice to play with her the whole time we were there.



Holden and Nancy's husband Wade discovered they both lived in Kamas Utah as kids.

I was so inspired by Nancy's ability to put on a Thanksgiving dinner with a ton of delicious foods, keep her house clean with 5 children running around, and provide fun crafts or projects for the kids at the same time. It was a wonderful trip!
