Aaron's parents came out on Veterans Day and then the following Sunday we all traipsed off to the airport. Sydney was very excited to "ride the big airplane like daddy" (sometimes he has to go on business trips).
Sitting with Grammy & Grandpa on the airplane.
Mady and I were one row ahead.
While visiting, we ripped out the old wallpaper in my mom's kitchen, painted, and did board and batten. Hooray for a fresh new look! Thanks for letting me work out some project urges out there!
For Thanksgiving, we had a big combined dinner/extravaganza at the church with both of our families. It was so fun! The kids went on a little train ride while we were setting up. We ate dinner, I choked on a pickle and lost my voice, and then the games began!
Most of the adults joined in to play volleyball, and those that did not feel like participating brought in the couch and chairs from the foyer and watched.
The kidlets made Indian headdresses, colored, got their faces/arms/legs painted, got animal balloons, and turkey cups with treats. They were in heaven!
The next day, Aaron's grandma came up to spend some time with the family.
We put up Grammy & Grandpa's tree and Mady decided the beads would look better on her.
This is a decoration on Aaron's parents tree. It is a small beaded bell that Aaron's great grandmother made. Lots of family history stuff going on!
Four generations right here!
Lots of play time with all the various cousins!
Nana was kind enough to drive us back to Salt Lake at the end of the 3 weeks so we could go home.
On the plane we even ended up in a first class seat that was big enough for the girls to fit in together!
We sure had fun everyone! Thanks for coming and seeing us! We got to see all of our siblings, our parents, lots of little cousins, some grandparents, friends, and even old teachers! The blizzard and getting snowed in reminded us that we REALLY enjoy Colorado weather, but it was fun to go back and visit!
