A Thanksgiving away from the Hustle & Bustle!




The beautiful artwork of a 2 & 4 yr. old! They had a ton of fun making tissue paper turkeys! We had to do some kind of craft before Thanksgiving...it actually gets me in the spirit more than them I'm sure!
---------------------------------------------------------
This year we went up to out families cabin in the Uintahs for Thanksgiving. It was amazing! We were a little worried what it would be like with it being so cold and having the pipes exosed to the 20 degree weather at night, but it all worked out and was such a blast! We all ate way too much of course, but it wouldn't be Thanksgiving without eating too much right?

Shelby, mom & me!


Grandpa, Shelby, Grandma Forman & Jon taking care of the turkey carving!
My dad brought an erector set to put together and Hunter & Jon both loved it!


Just goofing around! Shelby & I were being crazy and the kids decided to join!

Hunter followed his older cousins around everywhere! Thanks Clayton & Trent for being such good sports!


Hanna kept trying on Grandma's reading glasses! They're pretty cute woutldn't you say?


Dad & Kelsee! It was so fun to be together for the whole weekend!
Thanks fam!


At nights at the cabin, right before the sun goes down, is the best time to see the deer.


We go for a ride over the main road and look through the aspens trying to find them. This is a picture while riding in the truck of the snow outside!!! So cozy!

We had a bunch of friends over the other night and they brought their kids! It is so fun to see old friends after a long time and especially when they have such darling kids! We were playing games and we come downstairs to find this:


They pulled out the bed, got blankets for themselves and turned on a show! It was about 10:30pm so they were all so sleepy. What good kids to just do that by themselves! Well I don't know, if my children know how to do that by themselves...what is that saying about me?!!! Oh well, they're self-reliant right?
