Happy Thanksgiving!! We had such an enjoyable time up in Santa Clara for Thanksgiving! Nothing but laughter, chatter, and full bellies! I'm so grateful for my family! The love they show to me and my little family is unmatched! It's been a tradition to do Thanksgiving with Uncle Jim and Aunt Debbie since I was a little girl and have continued to do this long past my mom passing and recently my father passing! Thank you for always extending the invite to us! My heart it full!
The best cousin time ever! These kids played non stop and truly have the best time! So much to be thankful for!
Piper wanted to bring crafts to do with her cousins because she said they always have so many fun crafts to do and I want to bring more! Love her! She sure had fun doing those crafts with cousins! In fact all the girls did! The boys had fun doing boy things! lol Outside and wild!
We shopped the lame Black Friday ads! lol To prepare for our Black Friday shopping extravaganza! lol We wanted the old school feel of touching the ads but dang there was nothing good in the paper! We were very sad! All the ads were online! lol We headed up to Cedar to stay in Gramps (Chad's dad) new home! It is absolutely beautiful!
Black Friday Extravaganza!! Yes I love this day so much! It is my most favorite shopping day of the year! lol and I love to shop in the stores! Old school! lol I talked my fave cousins into meeting me there! Man oh man did we have a hay day! lol A freakn blast together! We hit up all the stores and found all the deals! It was an epic morning of deal finding and laughter!
Went back up to Cedar to get the rest of my little family and then headed back down to Santa Clara to go shooting with the cousins! Before we met up with them we stopped by to get the most delicious caramel apples from my sister! My sister Eryka is the creator of these incredible caramel apples and she was selling them at an event! We surprised her and bought 12 of them! lol I can't resist them and I love trying all her new flavors! Caramel Apple Delight and Friends! If you haven't tried these they are a must!!
Now it was time to shoot! lol Loved meeting up with my cousins! This time it was shooting! We had a blast! We all joined in the fun!
Cashy has a good eye and aim! I did good too! Penny enjoyed pulling the clay pigeons to launch in the sky! Honz of course never misses! Piper played with the little cousins climbing or sat and watched us! Such a fun day! We loved getting the invite! We all had a blast!
We even had a little photoshoot! lol I seriously love these cousins of mine so much! They bring my heart so much joy! I think what made this Thanksgiving the best and so memorable was the extra time we spent together! All day Thanksgiving instead of rushing back to Vegas! The epic black Friday shopping together the next morning and the shooting guns adventure! The best couple of days ever! Love my family so much!
Then back up to Cedar for this cuties Baptism! We are so proud of Piper's bestie cousin McKayla for choosing to be baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints! Such a wonderful baptism! McKayla is such a sweetheart! It was such a beautiful morning together! Piper was so excited for her to get baptized and she kept saying "I'm next!" That's right Piper you are next! Your baptism is coming! Yay!
Bottom corner pic is my Honz holding a huge box of poinsettias! My Honz not realizing the date came back to Gramp's home to surprise me with the poinsettias. As soon as I saw them I began to tear up! Poinsettias were my mom's favorite holiday flower and on this day marked 27years my mom has passed! Can't believe he was led to those without even knowing how special they are to me! Every time I see a poinsettia I think of my mom! Wow time flies! Can't believe it's been 27 years! I still miss her like crazy! That never goes away! Love my mom so much! Love my Honz so much too! He just knows without knowing! He is my person!!
Happy Thanksgiving ya'll! Now that's a wrap!
