We just got back from a quick trip up to Utah for Thanksgiving. We stayed with Rusty's Uncle Ron and his family in Highland. They are the best hosts ever. We had a nice drive up with the kids mostly because Brenner got to take his first airplane ride to Utah. And as an added bonus, since Noni & Pops flew up with Brenner I got to get a full 10 hours of sleep!
Thanksgiving was fun and filling. We played outside in the snow, ate and talked with family. Later that night we drove up to my sister's house in Sandy so Brenner could meet his Hodges cousins and Uncle Loyle.
Aunt Robyn gave Brenner his first haircut and made his side burn wings disappear.
Rusty had fun making Brenner do his favorite trick and the boys thought the snow was just about the greatest thing ever.
Berk talked Uncle Ron into letting him ride on the mower, and had a grand ole time doing it.
Brenner's first time in SNOW!
We did some Black Friday shopping, but not on purpose. Really, I only ended up at the mall to see my sis in law who was working and got out of there without buying a thing. Saturday was the big BYU vs UofU game. We went to Kneaders for a yummy breakfast and then took our family pictures. Later, while Rusty, his dad and sister went to cheer on the Cougs, the boys and I smartly stayed in the comfort of the Becks warm house. Thankfully, BYU pulled it out and we love Max for his comments post game. I finally got to see where Kelcie and her roomies live and remember how dang cold Utah gets.
The drive home Sunday went well, the boys did good until we hit the outskirts of Phoenix and then I was ready to toss them out the window. Thanks a bunch Ron & Robin for letting us crash your Thanksgiving!
I had a post about Gratitude to share, but never had a computer to post it, so I will soon I think anyway!
