Thanksgiving Weekend

This year for Thanksgiving we went to Moab! We usually spend Thanksgiving with Tyler's family but this year two of his sister's were going to be in Moab as well so we decided that was a great way to see both family's and be in moab!

Shayna's favorite thing to do in the mornings and in the evenings. Sit with Great Grandma Donna in the chair and snuggle.

Thanksgiving dinner was very good. I didn't get any pictures but it was nice.

Friday morning we woke up and my Mom was so sick with the flu. I felt so bad for her but the kids and Tyler and I decided to leave them behind and hang out with Ty's family for the day. We went to the Wind Tunnels, some people call them the honeycomb caves but I have always known them as the Wind Tunnels. We had a great time, the kids loved exploring the tunnels.








The next two pictures are just some scenic pictures taken from Horrah Pass on the way to the wind tunnels....So pretty!


When we got back from the wind tunnels we were supposed to go make ginger bread houses with Kip and his family. I wasn't feeling very good and the kids were tired so we decided to go to family dollar and get our own supplies and make ginger bread houses at Grandma Donna's. We didn't have the cute little kits that people buy now days so we did our best with what we had.


Saturday we wanted to hike to the Delicate Arch so we invited Tyler's family and had it all planned. I have been waiting FOREVER to do this with my kids. I wanted to wait until they were big enough to do it on their own and last year we never got the time to do it since Tyler was basically living in Scottsdale. But guess what, I got the flu so I didn't get to go. I was getting the kids ready to go and I just broke down in tears because I didn't want to miss out. I even had my kids crying. They kept saying "we will stay with you Mommy, don't be sad". I even had my Mom crying...so sad. But the kids went and I'm so glad they did. They loved every minute of it, and I was ok, I was able to cry myself to sleep and I slept the whole time they were gone.....
