Thanksgiving 2013

We were blessed to have TWO Thanksgiving dinners again this year.  My dad had to work on Thanksgiving, so we got together with my family last Sunday.  It's always so nice to see them and spend some time with them.  Dinner was delicious, as always, and we had a great time playing the game Bubble Talk together.  It's always a hit with anyone we play it with.  Here's an example round from when Dar and I played it with some friends, Wayne and Courtney, a few weeks ago:

It's a fun game :)

We left Sunday after church to head up north.  It was Savannah's nap time.

I thought her thumbs were cute--had to take a picture :)

Jesse, Hannah, and Rori being silly
Aurora pulls silly faces almost every time I try to get a picture lately.  Silly girl.

Handsome little Hyrum - Savannah is 10 weeks younger, but she's taller than him :)

Sorry, Mom!  I realized we didn't get any pictures of you.  I didn't notice anything else going on in this picture after Jesse sneaked in.

Thanks again, family!  It was so nice to see all of you!  We missed Tayton, Heather and Amaia.  We never get to see them as much as we want to.

Thanksgiving Day
It's a tradition at our house to set up our Christmas tree Thanksgiving morning.  Dar and Rori set up the tree while I worked on my Thanksgiving food assignments.  At one point I looked over and Aurora was sitting way too close to the TV watching Toy Story 3.

Another thing she loves to do lately is take pictures of herself any time she gets her hands on the camera.  She's a crack up and her personality is so fun--when she's not being a typical terrible-two-year-old :)

We were going to eat with my cousins, aunt, and uncle who live close by, but my immediate family (who we ate with on Sunday) was unable to come down, so we decided to go eat with Dar's family.  It was small, and it turned out great, but we missed the family we didn't get to see or spend time with.

We went and hung out with my cousins kids so Rori could play with them before we headed to Grandma and Grandpa's house.
Aurora and Jessy had a blast shooting Robby

 He's such a good sport and they all play so well with Aurora.  She LOVES her cousins!

Savannah was asleep when we got there.  I came over to check on her and saw her peeking from her car seat at Christopher.  She peeks out every time we forget to uncover her :)

Savy was watching Christopher playing on his iPad

We forgot to get a picture of the 4 of us together, but at least we got pictures of all of us!

When we got to Grandma and Grandpa's house, Rori was watching TV way too close again--in the baby walker this time.

Savannah's first Thanksgiving!
She ate turkey and rice :)

Aurora couldn't eat the pies--dang milk allergy--but she was pretty content with a cupcake.  Silly faces again. *Sigh*
