Our wonderful Thanksgiving!

We just got back to Missouri after a wonderful time in Utah! It was so fun to be with our family and friends for the holiday! It was so great of my mom and dad to come get the girls and I so that we could come early and leave Scott to have study time for his finals. He did great on them by the way, and I'm always so proud of him!! The girls did well on both plane trips... a little crying, but not too bad!! We are gearing up to come again in a few weeks. We'll be going right to St. George to the Rynearson's and then to Capistrano with my fam. Hooray for the holidays!

We loved hanging at my mom's house where we were all spoiled and loved! We also got to see Scott's family for a couple days and it was so nice that they made the drive up! The girls are so blessed with wonderful grandparents, uncles, and aunts and cousins of course! We loved seeing you all!

Two important things that happened in our families that past couple weeks are 1. McCall was named the 3A state soccer MVP! We are so exited for her! There was a great article and pictures in the D. News about her! Congrats!!

2. We loved spending some time with Mike and his new fiance Chauntelle! Yes that is right! Mike is getting married on May 12 and we are so excited for him! We love Chauntelle and think they are just perfect for each other! She is honestly darling. I'm also so excited because that means another visit to Utah!! Hooray!

Our Thanksgiving feast was truly a feast!! We could have fed 50 more people with the amount of food we had! It was delicious! Mom always makes things perfect! We also got to be part of our nephew Jacob's baptism and we are so proud of him! That was a special day for all of us!

The time really flew by, but we did squeeze in a few visits with friends too! It was so wonderful to be with you all and we feel so blessed for the wonderful memories and influence you have on us!

We will be thinking of you all this holiday season and count our family and friends as our most precious people to be thankful for!
