We have been lucky enough to spend many Thanksgivings with our friends, the Bryners (who are moving, effectively making the Thanksgiving in this post our last one together). Every once in awhile we luck out with a visit from our families too.
This year, Casey and Sarah came out with Lincoln for a long weekend and we loved every second.
Lincoln is like a mini-celebrity in our house. The kids cannot get enough of their cousins!
Everyone arrived just in time to head over for Thanksgiving dinner. We ate too much, played some football, ate more and then at the last minute the girls all decided to go out Black Friday shopping.
None of us had ever really gone (except for Sarah, she's an expert) but we had the best time and came back with some hilarious stories (like the lady who ran into me and then yelled at me for apparently existing??). We also came home with some sweet deals from Target, which was insanely busy. Everywhere else was kind of a bust.
I don't really remember what else we did and in what order of events, but I know we smothered Lincoln and forced Uncle Casey to read many, many pigeon books.
We also ate out a lot.
And went down to the Mesa Temple Lights. We unexpectedly ran into our college friends, the Stohls, who were down visiting family for the holiday. It was a happy reunion.
Saturday we took all the kids to Freestone park to ride all the kiddie rides.
I thought maybe since it was almost Decemeber, I could pretend it was winter and dress in some warmer clothes.
I ended up dying of heat. I think it was almost in the 80's that weekend.
Saturday night we met up with Dustin's other brother, Doug and family, at La Grande Orange to make sure Casey and Sarah got some of their favorite english muffins before they headed home.
Dustin's brothers are so much fun to be around and all so incredibly nice. We just love any time we get to spend with them and were sad to see them go. Hopefully we will get to see Casey and Sarah's newest arrival in April!!
