a trip to be thankful for.

we were lucky enough to go to utah for thanksgiving this year to visit with uncle kent and lots of our family.
it was so fun to see everyone and we really missed those who couldn't make it!
dani, sky, spencer drove down from rexburg to meet us and we all stayed with everyone in midway. (thanks to jim and joan who let us stay in their awesome house!!)
the whole week was like one big sleepover and we loved every second of it!

here are some things that we were thankful for this thanksgiving...

we were really thankful for mickey mouse clubhouse, especially on the long car rides!

bobby and i are always thankful for this awesome girl in our lives!

boy do we love her!

we were thankful for the nice weather that we got to enjoy there so that we could have fun outside!

very thankful for my cute sisters and sister-in-law. as you can tell from this picture, they are much cuter than me and they are awesome aunts and bri loves them!

thankful for all my awesome extended family and their fun ideas!

thankful for the relaxing holiday weekend.

we were thankful for an absolute delicious thanksgiving dinner! and i'm always thankful for oreo turkeys :)


thankful for fun family outings, like trips to see red dawn together! WOLVERINES!

so thankful for this awesome family of mine. especially thankful for the big kid whose missing in this picture! we are so thankful for elder brooksby and we can't wait till he is home from his mission!

thankful for these birthday buddies! bri especially loves "nama" and stevie!
another thing that i'm thankful for is this video. 
jim and joan have an awesome playroom at the house that we stayed at that bri couldnt get enough of, the only problem was that they also had a huge stuffed alligator that she was terrified of in there. haha. and of course her daddy thought it was be funny to tease her with it.
the best part about this whole experience is that everyday since last thursday she has brought up that alligator haha. she can't forget about it! all of a sudden i'll hear...."mama, alligator so so so scary!" or "daddy get the alligator" or randomly "what about........alligator" (thats what she says when shes trying to think of something, what about......and then whatever she is thinking of haha)
anyways. its still cracking us up. and we never have to worry about her getting close to alligators.


i'm especially thankful for eternal families, my father in heaven, and for my amazing husband who always knows just what i need. even when i'm not sure myself.

happy thanksgiving everyone!!!
