After the parade went to "A walk in Bethlehem" it was really amazing and the kids loved it. Then we had dinner at cracker barrel, afterwards we drove through a neighborhood full of lights! The kids loved it but were ready for bed.

Hiking!

When we were in Utah we hiked Y mountain so we decided that since we have lived here so long and only minutes from ASU we should hike the A mountain, well it is more of a hill compared to the Y mountain. It was a super easy and fun hike.

The kids half way up.

Tyler at the A

Joe and Reagan at the top!

Tyler climbed to the highest rock!

Reagan was fighting to let us let her explore on her own. I was way to nervous!

Say CHEESE

Emma was posing for me I have about 100 photos of all her different poses

Reagan wanted in on the posing action too!

It was a really fun morning and the weather was perfect!

Zoo lights

Every year on Thanksgiving we go to see the Phoenix Zoo lights! We love this tradition and was excited that Jackie and Amy came along this time!

Thanksgiving Day!

We had a wonderful thanksgiving! We were really happy Amy and Jackie could come from Idaho to spend it with us. It was also great because Brian, Susanna and Anna Belle came and Nana and Kevin!!! We were blessed to have so much family this year!

Reagan couldn't wait until 1:30 to eat she was starving and REALLY tired so here she is having left overs from the night before.

Brian played the wii while we waited with Emma and Anna Belle

Jackie, Amy and Susanna waiting for the feast to begin.

I am so mean I made everyone wait a little longer so I could get a group shot! Nana was taking the picture! i think this is my first group shot to ever be in.

Anna eating her yummy food!

Tyler and Emma at the kids table



After dinner we had a tennis tournament!

Brian and Susanna

The winners:

Jackie and Joe

I will admit it Amy and I are not so good at tennis but we sure have fun and give our arms a good workout!

And I don't know why I never got a picture of the 4th team, Nana and Emma! They did really good and beat Amy and I once (I know Emma is a 3 year old, I already said Amy and I were not very good!)

Nana with her oldest, Joe and youngest, Kevin

And of course PIE time!!!!!!

Amy with Emma and Reagan... Look at all those blue eyes! The girls really loved having Aunt Amy for the whole week!

our double rainbow!

The day before thanksgiving we had a WHOLE rainbow. We could see were it ended on both sides. And that wasn't the only cool part there were 2!
