Thanksgiving In Utah!

We were able to go down to Utah again this year for thanksgiving since both of our families live there I think it makes perfect sense! Ava and I stayed an extra long this time. My dad was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer and is going to be going through treatment soon so I have been trying to help out and spend as much time possible with him. We got to do alot while we were down there too. It's always good to see old friends and it's so nice to be able to pick up right where we left off. Thanks to everyone who has been so supportive during this tough time. Please keep him in your prayers.





We got to celebrate my brother Dave's 31st Birthday. He is attending law school in Kansas right now so we don't get to see much of him and his family.






The three boys!






I got to go to my good friends Tiff's costco Baby shower. Andra you did such a great job by the way!






Our little family on Thanksgiving.











Ava didn't want any pumpkin pie she was content with grasshopper cookies.






My mother in-law Deb and her mom and sister Tami.








Lots of the cousins on Thanksgiving.







My nephew Johnny and Sundie.









My cute mom and dad with Ava.

My dad and Ava







We did lots and lots of Christmas Shopping!










If you haven't had the opportunity to try out the sundance sunday brunch you are missing out. It is amazing! Pricey but definately worth it!









Of course by the time we got up there Ava was so fussy. I decided to take her for a walk outside in the snow and this is what happend.








A total meltdown! She hated the snow.









My Brother In-law Jameson got his mission call to Sacramento California! Here he is patiently waiting.










And we also got to celebrate my mom's 65th birthday! Look how good she looks!!








Me, my mom and very pregnant sister april she had her baby the next day the same day I went home!
