Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving in St. George and had a blast. I am thankful that Nate has an awesome family that lets us come home and take over their house and just chill whenever we want to. We got hyped about Linzy's upcoming wedding, talked movies with Abbey, ate way too much food, and just relaxed for awhile. My sister Rebecca went with us, and she did a great job of putting off homework and giggling late into the night with Abbey on the hide-a-bed. Us ladies went to see the movie Twilight, and in my opinion you should save your money. I wasn't a fan, although I do like the books. Thanksgiving dinner was sooo good. There was seriously not one food item that turned out badly, which is saying something, because I helped.

Aunt Abbey can never resist a chance to do Add's hair.

All the cousins: Addison, Aria, Sonnet, Trinity, and Dayson (not wearing pants because he's potty training!)

Addison and Sonnet

We went to the sand dunes and on a little walk in Snow Canyon. Man, talk about a workout! I am convinced that running up a mountain of sand burns more calories than just about any other form of exercise.

Nate and I took Beck rappelling for her first time ever. She was very brave. She got about halfway down the cliff before Nate decided to tell her that she had a little audience of campers at the bottom. We were very impressed by Nate's upside-down rappel. We rappelled at Red Cliffs and then followed a trail that took us by the river and on a really fun and beautiful hike. There were some natural water slides and some really deep pools of water. We had a few close calls, but did not fall in even once. We'll have to go back in the summer for sure.

P.S. I am extremely proud of the collages. I put them together ALL BY MYSELF with no assistance, and technology is not my forte. Give 'em a click if you want to see the pictures a little bigger.
