Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving this year we headed to Utah to spend time with my family. Mike was able to meet up with us after his Pueblo rotation. It was so much fun to have the kids wake up Thanksgiving morning to Mike there. Up to this point in his audition rotations he had not seen them for 2 months. That is a VERY long time for a little guy who is attached to his dad.  Granted J was therefore attached to Mike's hip from Thanksgiving morning until the day Mike had to leave for Casper.  This may be picture overload, but Mike had the camera for the full 3 months, so just sit back and enjoy!

 My dad made this awesome rope swing...J loves it! Can't wait for E to be old enough to understand to hang on so she can have a blast too.

 Getting ready to eat some breakfast at Denny's
 Friday (after thanksgiving) we went to see the Temple lights at the Salt Lake Temple with my sister and her family...J woke up from a little nap on the drive over and was freezing..E would not let us cover her hands, she absolutely LOVED the cold weather
 yup, that's right I'm amazing. I took this picture. It does look like another one, but I think I could sell this for big bucks!! LOL 
 My nephew...he is 6 months younger than E and is at least 4 pounds heavier and the same height
 Pose!
 "what you lookin at"
 Like I said J was freezing!
