We're so lucky to have great family!



What a great week! We got to spend time with one of my cousins and his wonderful family...we don't get to see eachother near enough! I wish we lived closer so we could repeat these memories weekly! Taylor and Carolina were instant friends like kindred spirits and Danny and Landon had a great time having another boy around to do "manly" things. The poor guys have big sisters that kind of rule their worlds! I guess that's good practice for later in life though, right? We went to Cornbelly's at Thanksgiving Point and had so much fun together that I'm struggling to pick favorite moments to blog about! Where do I start? Well, I'll start off saying that my stepmom leaned over and whispered the most profound statement to me during our visit...."I just realized, you really DO have 3 kids!" She is SOOOO right! But I am so thankful for Chris's playful personality and willingness to do fun and silly things. It makes everyday so much fun! Chris went from area to area experiencing all that Thanksgiving Point had to offer...literally. We even got Matt in on some of the action! After walking around and playing, we went to the Pig Races!!! Now this is kind of a legendary experience at our house..two years ago we came to Thanksgiving Point's Pig Races and I got picked out of the crowd to kiss a pig for good luck. Well, I actually did it and Taylor thought it was so gross that she wouldn't acknowledge my existence or speak to me for an hour! Now this year she wanted to kiss a pig...well, she didn't get to, but thanks to some loud and obnoxious family, Stefenee did! We thought that since it was her birthday, she needed a memorable time! What a good sport!! We love you Grandma! What great fun! I wish it could have gone on forever!! Then we went to dinner and proceeded to embarass Grandma even more! We made sure that everyone at Chuck A Rama knew it was her birthday and they did a bang up job gathering a crowd to sing! I am so glad we got to spend time together and look forward to the next time we can do it again! Love you guys!
