Thanksgiving 2010

Happy Thanksgiving 2010! This year we headed to Utah for the big holiday. It was a great time. We were able to spend time with lots of family and even met a new nephew/cousin! We were so excited to meet and play with "Baby Hudson."

It snowed lots while we were there and the kids had a great time playing with Uncle Jeff in it, while the parents stayed inside where it was warm. We went shopping and saw Tangled, watched How To Train Your Dragon. Lots of fun. Alisa and I decided to do a 10k for the Utah Food Bank. It was FREEZING! I decided when I started to run that I was only going to do the 5K, Alisa did all of it. I did feel better eating the pumpkin pie that night!

Sydney loves all the things about Thanksgiving. She especially loved Grandma Carols slush drink. She had a TON of it. She talked about Turkeys at school. One worksheet she had to do was color a turkey and then underneath fill in the blank. Hers said, "My turkey is tasty." That is what she filled in and I thought it was so creative.

Tyler really liked the snow. I dressed him up all warm (thanks to Aunt Alisa for providing the snow gear) and he actually looked like Ralphie's brother on A Christmas Story. He could barely move his arms down. It was adorable. Tyler became Uncle Jeff's little buddy. Everywhere Jeff was Ty would want to follow. They went on errands together and watched sports together. He had lots of fun with that. He also really liked watching How To Train Your Dragon with Brendon and Shay. He loves that movie and loved the cookies and treats they provided to go along with the movie.

This was Brady's first Thanksgiving and he even got to try Rice Cereal. Technically it was the day after Thanksgiving, but either way he LOVES eating it. He gets a funny look on his face and it cracks me up. He is a messy eater while he tries to figure out how to do it. He loved being held by everyone. I was excited for all the cousins to be able to play with him.

The thing I loved most was spending time with family and friends. It was great to have Ryan off work for a week and see him all day. I feel very blessed to have three beautiful children and a husband I adore.

Thanks everyone for such a great trip!
