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!

After dinner we had a tennis tournament!

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!)

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!

Zoo

Last week the weather was AMAZING and my sister, Amy and our family Friend Jackie came to visit from BYU Idaho for the whole week. We headed to the zoo after Tyler got out of school and enjoyed being outside and being with each other.

Uncle Matt and Aunt Linzi

Joe's little sister, Linzi, has been serving in the army in Qatar and was home on leave for a week so she came out for the day. Right before she left she got married to Matt so it was fun to finally meet him and have some fun with them both. We all went to Dave and Busters for dinner and some games. Matt was really good at the games and got lots of tickets and won some fun things for the kids. They really had fun.

Linzi and Matt with all the kids.
