Paige's 5th birthday

the tractor lights parade...



happy birthday Paige!

final stop... Melissa & Sam's

Because Melissa had to work most of the time during our first visit, we stayed at her house again before heading back home to Washington.

We hung out at her place and went on an outing to Salt Lake City, checking out the Church History Museum. Remember this incident?







fun times!

third stop... Grandma & Grandpa Rasband's

We got to spend 4 days with my grandma & grandpa in Midway along with my parents and sister Miriam (out from California), sister Rebekah and her family (out from Texas) and sister Hannah and her husband Stephen (Provo). 
My parents rented a condo close to my grandma's for Rebekah's family & our family to stay in.

It was great for the kids to get to play with their cousins and although it didn't snow while we were there, they enjoyed playing in the crunchy, dirty snow. 

And of course Cameron insisted on eating that dirty, crusty snow...
(every once in a while he would spit out a piece of dirt or grass)

Thanksgiving Day...


Brandon was a big helper

My grandma rented the club house by her condo so we would have plenty of room to eat Thanksgiving dinner. It was great because there was also a game room with plenty of games for the adults and a playroom for the kids. 






Scott made an amazing turkey!





the food was delicious!









It was so great to be with family and enjoy Thanksgiving together!
