Riverwood Lights

For the past couple of years me and my girlfriends have kicked off the Christmas Season by going to see the lights at the Riverwoods, eat dinner and visit Santa. This year was no different. It was a tad warmer than previous years too. Love my second family and love starting off this season with tradition!

Breakfast with Minnie

We were able to catch Minnie on her way home to Nevada on our way home from Southern Utah. It was SO good to see her! We finally got to meet her newly adopted son Briggs! Oh my heavens he was so cute, I fell in love. It was so good to see her as a mama:) Andrew is so good with the kids. We were able to catch up and have a great hour together!

Thanksgiving in Southern Utah

I don't know how I got so lucky. Just weeks before we move I was able to go to Southern Utah with my kids for an entire week. I was able to plan out Thanksgiving with my mom, put minute to win it game together, do four wheeler rides and walks to the park. Then all my sisters and their families joined us and we had an 80 person Thanksgiving with my cousins for Washington to Florida. The largest one in ten years! It was so good to see everyone and really get that time in before we leave. My kids got to spend quality time with their cousins and make all sorts of memories and I got time with my family:) We did a beautiful hike and a fun day at Sand mountain. It was full of stress, craziness, laughter, breathtaking scenery and a little sickness but I absolutely LOVED every second!   

Such a neat way to spend Thanksgiving, with some of the things I'm most grateful for!
