For Thanksgiving this year, we went down to St. George to spend it with Anton's family. It was so beautiful down there, and spending time with Anton's family is always so much fun. We didn't see Anton's parents hardly at all, except for at Thanksgiving Dinner, because they were moving. So, we ended up spending almost the whole time with Anton's sister Nicole and her family, and his grandparents. We always have the best time with Nicole and Jeremy. Our kids play so darling together, we basically don't see them while we are there because they are so busy playing dress up, jumping on the tramp, coloring - it is so fun. Lilly and Prentice were so sad to leave each other. Claire and Cardon were probably glad to see one another part ways :) Nicole and I went black Friday shopping together - what an experience. We had our bag of rolls, and diet coke - we were set for a successful night of shopping! We laughed and laughed - even though she tried to kill me ("Nicole, are your lights on?!"). I feel so lucky to have such great in-laws. In particular, I feel so lucky to have a great friendship with Nicole. I feel like, even if we weren't family, I would still want her as a close friend. I admire so many things about her - every time I leave from being with them, I want to be a better mom/spouse. We laugh and laugh when we are with them...it's good therapy! We are really looking forward to them coming up over Christmas Break.
It was also really fun and nice to be with Anton's grandparents. They are so wonderful, and Anton has such a special relationship with them. We cherish the times we get to see them, and feel grateful that our girls know them and they know our girls.
It was beautiful in St. George. The sun was out, but it was still a little chilly. We took the kids swimming, went on a really neat hike up to an old volcano, played at the park, let the kids stay up waaayy too late with their cousins, ate delicious food, laughed...it was a great weekend.
Words can't begin to express how Thankful I am for my little family. I love each of them more and more every day. I am so thankful, and so very blessed.

Fun for Truman! I am sure he loves when Uncle Anton comes into town :)
The girls were troopers on our hike. They are so fun to take on little outings like this!
