Thanksgiving Extravaganza

The fam

Let the party begin...

I was Goldilocks in this crazy production...

Enjoying the show

Uncle Mark is so much fun!

We have made it back from our, what seems like forever long, trips. We have basically been on vacation for the last 2 weeks. We had a lot of fun, but is nice to be home.
For Thanksgiving, we went to Utah (1 1/2 days after we got back from Mexico--aagh.) My grandma rented a cabin for a few days in Bear Lake, about an hour away from Logan. All my extended family (cousins, aunts, unces, g-mas, g-pas, etc) were there. It was nice to see everyone, since I haven't been to a big family event like that in a while. I didn't realize Kalli has so many cousins her age. She played the whole time, I barely saw her. I had to remind myself I was a parent sometimes. That is the best kind of vacation! We had a great Thanksgiving dinner, I stuffed myself, as usual. We went home that night to prepare for our great shopping adventure the next morning. I got up at 3:30 a.m. (Nate kept on sawing logs) to hit Kohl's by 4 a.m. It was a crazy madhouse. People running to the doors, grabbing at anything in sight. I love to people-watch and it was a prime people-watching morning. We hit a few more stores but I only purchased one thing - perfume. I went back in the afternoon, after a good 2 hour nap, and picked up a few more deals. My feet were killing by the end of the day. It was great!
The rest of the trip was awesome as well. We had a talent show at the cabin, which was fun and and later we got to visit some good friends of ours and see their adorable baby for the first time. Time went too fast, before we knew it we were on our way back. Sad, but I do have to say, it is good to be home.
