One busy weekend, part 2!

 Then...after Avery's dance thing we went to lunch with my parents while the kids were babysat and then back to Heber for Forgotten Carols...
 And the WORST seats ever!  That is why the seats behind us are empty, because EVERYONE is smarter than me.  I have never been in this place before, we always go to cottonwood highschool...
 The next day my family came to dinner at our house...
 And we played some super mean Just Dance on the Wii!  It was a riot.  I lost to my niece that is 10! 
This was the best part, Rob can really lay it down!  It was a busy, super fun weekend!

One busy weekend!

 Avery performed with her little group this weekend in Midway...
 Gracie and Brody were really good sports about watching many, many, many dancers!
 Rob had a look on his face the whole time (not this one, this one is just for the camera!) that screamed...GET ME OUT OF HERE!  It borders on painful for him to go to these things and it is ONLY for his love of his daughter that he attends!
 When Avery came off stage, Brody took her arm and passionately proclaimed..."Avery, you did GREAT!"  It was a priceless memory.
And on our way home, this one snaked the camera and gave us this lovely.  Thanks Grace!

I'm Thankful for a day of Thankful-ness!

On Thanksgiving day we had the fun of going to both family celebrations.  We got to hang with most of our favorite people!  (Including the couple pictured above with their cute baby...it is Jacob and Emily, Rob's brother and her wife)
 When we were waiting for Rob, the kids and I raced from the tree to the car, because it was SOOO cold!
 They are such good kids!  I am loving this age, it is heaven!!
 Then Daddy skipped to the car with Avery...
And it was endearing, so I kissed him :)
 Then on to the Lowe's and some seriously goofy brother in law's and some delicious babies!!
 I took somewhere around 900,000 pictures of my sister, Debra's, kids because I was so excited to have them for Thanksgiving...since they just moved from Florida! 
 It was such a fun day, I wish at least one day a week could be a holiday that involves family get togethers!!
My family always goes around the table with everyone sharing what they were most thankful for in the year...it was a common answer for all that family is the thing we are most thankful for!  Rob and I were both thinking along the same wavelength when we said that we are thankful for this year, because of his out of town work and how it has made our love for our own family and appreciation of it grow.  It has been such a blessing in disguise, to show my excessive mormon-ness!!
Happy Thanksgiving...Bring on Christmas!!
