Thanksgiving 2011

This year we got my parents for Thanksgiving! The last couple of years we have been lucky to get Jenni and Michael for Thanksgiving, and I love our tradition with the Grahams...but this year was extra special because my parents came. This is huge people, my parents don't leave home for Thanksgiving. I remember one time growing up that we weren't home for Thanksgiving. So...I was pumped and we had such a good time!!!

The kids got lots of play time in with Jenni and Michael. I think they wore them out actually.


We played lots of games.

Cooked a lot of food. Pies mostly, the most important. I think we made 6 pies and a cheesecake. Everyone left and I had almost 4 whole pies left in my fridge. Don't worry, I took care of all of them.

The whole gang! Christi is an awesome host and makes a mean turkey. I love having Thanksgiving over there.

A little black friday shopping. We were spoiled by my mom! Jenni and I had fun shopping for maternity clothes together.

Kicking off Christmas with a trip to the cactus gardens. One of my very favorite things to do in Las Vegas. And it's free! Unless you buy a ton of chocolate while you're there...which I don't. but their peanut brittle is AMAZING!!

Easton was complaining that he didn't have enough action figures. So Jenni told him they could make some. They made the whole Incredibles family out of cardboard and Easton thought they were awesome. Plus I don't have to buy action figures anymore. We have since made Spiderman, Green Lantern and Captain America. Thanks Aunt Jenni for being more creative and willing to make my kids happy than I am.

It was a Thanksgiving I will remember forever. Thanks to my parents and sister for coming, we LOVE YOU!!!

I love this so much! I am just so thankful for you guys and the Grahams for always making Thanksgiving so fun and memorable for us. And SUPER bonus having mom and dad there!! I love your kids so so so so so so so so much! And those action figures were just as fun for me as they were for Easton, so that worked out. You guys are the best hosts EVER. And I sincerely mean that.

Those were the days when my belly was small... i miss those days.

Love you guys!
