Happy Thanksgiving!!

     So we had a wonderful Thanksgiving this past month!  We were able to go to Utah for a couple of days and stay there with Cole's parents the whole time!  It was different not having most of my family here in the country even for this Thanksgiving, but it was really nice to be able to just be up at Cole's house and stay there.  Traveling takes a LONG time back and forth, so it was nice to stay in one place!
    We had a big feast up at Cole's parents, and had most of the family there!  We were only missing Cole's brother Spencer and his wife Laura.  We all really missed them, but we had a great time anyways.  The food was incredible (as always) and we were all sufficiently stuffed by the time we were done!  My kids did really great....Lincoln had about 6 rolls and 12 chocolate kisses for Thanksgiving dinner, Payton had a few bites of mashed potatoes and a little bit of turkey, and Morgan ate 2 whole plates of food!  Thanks Morgs.  She always out eats her brothers!  It was just so much fun to be able to be there with the family.  We had a few new people up visiting for dinner, so it was fun to get to know more people too!
    I REALLY love Thanksgiving because there is NO ONE to buy anything for!  I love just being able to be together and to be thinking about things that we are grateful for.  It is so nice and always pretty relaxing besides all of the cooking and things.  I love it, and this year did NOT disappoint.
   Thanks everyone for such a great holiday.  We had a tremendously wonderful time!











We were in Richmond for like 5 or 6 days or something, and the kids took about 12 baths!  They LOVED bathing in Grandmas "Big Tub"!

They also fed cows each day, and played outside LOTS and LOTS!

Morgan wanted anyone and everyone to read books to her.  Here uncle Spencer is reading her "I'm a Little Teapot"...notice her spout sticking out of the top!

Oh nuts....Oakley is blurry!  but her and Morgan were having a BLAST playing the piano!
