Thanksgiving

We were lucky enough to go up to Utah for Thanksgiving. Josh took his Step 3 boards the day before we left so it was a nice break for us all. The girls were wonderful on the drive and our first morning in Utah this is what we woke up to:

Welcome back to Utah! Over the next week it snowed on and off most days and we had plenty of opportunities to shovel snow and enjoy its beauty. Tienna loved it and even got pretty good at making snow balls.

Other than lots of snow and cold our trip to Salt Lake was full of family. We spent time with grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. Thanksgiving day we had a wonderful meal at the Vandersteen's with the entire family who was in town (we missed you Ces and Jared!), it was so fun to have everyone together all at the same time.

 That night we headed over to the Pollei's for our traditional gingerbread houses. Uncle McKay made a special hat for Tienna out of some tinfoil... let's just say it was pretty special :)

Finally, we also celebrated Josh's birthday with the families while in town. Tienna was excited to help blow out the candles :)
