This years Thanksgiving was a little different. I can't remember very many Thanksgivings that we didn't pack our bags to go down to Toquerville (even when we lived in Cali) and spend it with our extended fam. This year my mom was staying up here for an extended period so she thought we should have Thanksgiving up here this year and my house was nominated. Hosting my first Thanksgiving.. Hmmm. I almost passed out especially when they said whoever hosts it does the Turkey!!! Well we prepared the house and did our share of the food. Every one was so awsome and bought dishes, together we made a massive amazing Thanksgiving dinner. Props to my hubby & Rachel Ray for a GREAT turkey:) Everything went smooth and for some reason I was oddly calm that day, even with a million kids running around. I just thought, it can be cleaned, that can be fixed, opps thats broken oh well! It was awsome to just enjoy my family. I've waited and dreamed to have my own home filled with family on a holiday. I usually only got one visitor per year via plane:( So I greatly enjoy this holiday and decided not to ruin it with stress. Some of my mom brought Cassie's kids down a night early for a sleep over so Chel and her kids joined us. It was so fun! I love my family! This move/transition has been harder than I thought. We gave up a lot of 'perks' to move home and I just adjusting to life here again was a little hard.... However I know it my heart it was worth it: mason's birthday with cousins, family attending our sacrament talk, having help watching Mase (thank you VV), trick or treating with cousins, new moon with my sisters & cookie, not having to soak in every possible moment before flying away for six months & thanksgivng was just a reminder of why we did this: Family, Quality of Life! Hard or not, I'm so glad to be home. Being around family has meant the world to us! It overwhelms my heart! Here are a few pictures of Thanksgiving Day and then some for our weekend in Toquerville. ~Enjoy
Jaymee's birthday is the day after Thanksgiving so we decided to celebrate it with her while everybody was there on thanksgiving....
