Turkey Week

We were so lucky to spend Turkey Week with all of these wonderful family members (plus Auntie & Roger...minus Sammy & Zach)

For the past 7 years we have ALWAYS done a Turkey Trot Thanksgiving Day.  When they didn't have one nearby--we MADE one--with bibs & everything!

1st up: Little Trotters

Next: the Trotters

They weren't messing around with the mile

Cruz (& a few others) got smart & got a ride for a bit from Pop Pop

Later we went bowling,

Grandma Annie snuggled the littlest two grand babies,

got a movie theatre almost all to ourselves, 

Daddy, Oshyn, & Cruz skied, 

and Gianna was blessed.

17 of 18 grandchildren all together, for multiple days, under one roof...they couldn't have been any happier.  We are so blessed and thankful on this Thanksgiving week for all we have.  Especially for such a fabulous family.

You know

 the boys have been having a good time 

when your pictures look like this at the end of the day...

Grammie

Grammie was here and I'm not sure which one of us was more excited!  The world feels happier & lighter when she is with us.  We adore her and try to soak up all of the minutes.  Until next time, we'll miss you!

November...

still going strong!!  

MMMmmmmm!  Only in CA

Putt Putt

One of the fun parts of having the temple up in Sacramento is that after we have visited, we have been able to explore a bit of Sac-town.  There is a fun rock climbing place, a ginormous trampoline place, a drive-in movie place, restaurants, outlet stores, you name it.  This time we decided to try something new.  Goofy golf, putt putt, mini golf...whatever you want to call it, that is what the adventure was today.  The boys had never been, so that always makes for added excitement for all.

Baby Putt Putt

I seem to vaguely remember that the lady of the crew beat all of the little & big men.  

Not that our highly competitive family keeps score or anything...
