THANKSGIVING

This year we spent Thanksgiving with Eric's family in Utah. We were so excited to go because all of his siblings would be together for the first time in over five years and we hadn't been to Utah in about 4 years, so it was a big trip for us. It was a hectic and fun week, sprinkled with a dash of the common cold. We played with new (Emmett and Madelyn and Ella) and old cousins (Daniel and Isaac), ate good food (well Eric did, I had to watch Lillie while he ate and so my food was cold and there wasn't any left for seconds by the time I ate), and got awesome deals on Black Friday.\


I did a lot of nose wiping this vacation.

Lillie and Ella were so cute together. Ella is 8 mos older, but is the same size as Lil, and so they got along really well. They always wanted to be held by the same person at the same time and they shared a deep love for Grandma's beanie babies. I wish that Iowa wasn't so far away so that they could play together often.
Eric and I went to see the beautiful temple lights one night, too. Which was fun because the last time we saw them was when we had been dating less than a month. It's amazing how much has changed in 6 years, with us, not the lights.

i really enjoyed the trip. I wish we lived closer to Eric's family, we love them and loved spending time with them. I hope it's not another 5 years before we all get together again.
