Thanksgiving 2015


This year for Thanksgiving we went to Idaho to spend the holiday with the Wood's.  We had such a great time. We left on Wednesday and drove up to Twin Falls in a snow storm. We made it safely though and our kids were awesome due to the iPad, phones and a few books and toys.


We went to see Great Grandpa Baird and spent some time at his house and had dinner.  The kids were so excited to be there with all of their cousins and play together.


Brad, Ted, Logan and I were all matching.


We stayed at a hotel in Twin Falls and my kids were in heaven because of the swimming pool. Josh was good to take them swimming while I got in the bath. I am not one to get in a swimsuit while I am pregnant, and my body hurt from sitting in the car. Also, I just love sleeping kids and how sweet and peaceful they look.


The next day we drove to Rusty and Carolyn's house for Thanksgiving Dinner. Robin and I brought some fun games and crafts for the kids and they all had a great time.


They live in Hailey, Idaho and it is absolutely beautiful where they live. The house is a great house and the scenery is so pretty. It was the perfect place to have Thanksgiving dinner.  It was a great day and I was happy to be spending it with my family. I have so many things that I am grateful for and my family is at the top of the list. I am so blessed!







Drake is starting to spell out words and put them together. This was him writing a note to the maids at the hotel that the "Beds are comfy" :)


Thanksgiving night Robin and I went and did some late night shopping at Target. We went after the crowds had left and we walked and shopped every inch of that store, it was great and we had so much fun. The next morning we woke up and got ready and Josh, the kids and I went to Old Navy to do some shopping and then went to lunch at a local burger place that was really good. Then we drove to Pocatello where we all hung out at Barb and Syd's and played games and ate dinner. The kids put on a show for us and just had so much fun all playing together. We stayed at a hotel that night too and the kids crashed and fell asleep so fast.


We ended the trip the same way we started it, in the car with headphones on and driving. The kids were great on this trip and it was nice to get out of Logan and spend some time together as a family. The kids had so much fun and so did Josh and I. It was so fun to see Josh's siblings and parents and spend time all together. I married into one awesome family who treats me so well. I am grateful for them and love each of them so very much!
