Thanksgiving FUN

What a FUN Thanksgiving weekend it was! We left for R-town as soon as I got off work on Tuesday night. (it was kinda late...but we couldn't wait any longer!) It was the Luekenga's turn this time so we stayed at Jake's parents' house. And WOW do we always feel like we're staying at a bed and breakfast there, we feel like royalty! :) SO FUN! Jake did his usual golfing, basketball, and being with the boys, while the girls did our "girls" things. :) Jake actually DID help this year...he made delicious mashed potatoes that he was so PROUD of. (they really were DeViNe) Jake's sister went to this cooking class at the Chef's Table in Orem and was able to get all the recipes for Thanksgiving dinner so we tried them all out...and it was SO GOOD! We were NOT disappointed that's for sure. It was fun to try new recipes (well "new" to Jake's mom...cooking is always "NEW" to me!) We ate lot's of good food and of course yummy pumpkin pie. We were able to hit the Poulson's party as well and get seconds on dessert! (Ya kinda regretting that one about now) ha I'm so grateful for such an AMAZING family and for the opportunity to be reminded of all the blessings in my life.

She sure LOVES her papa...she fell right asleep on his lap, how sweet is that.


Lyla with her sweet Great Grandma Collyer



This is what Jake did ALL weekend! This is the newest buy of RL (jake's dad)...I know you're thinking who would drive this thing, but of course only my husband and father in law would! :) Love that face



This was a couple weeks ago when I watched my friend's little girl, Afton helping Lyla go down the slide for the first time! Lyla looks almost as BIG as her! ha We love AFTON!

The tiniest, SWEETEST, most adorable Halloween FAIRY!


too bad you can't see the back of the wings, (it's cuter) I forgot that you can see this side more when i made them...oops my bad!

We had such a fun weekend in Richfield! I just wish I would've taken more pictures, dang it. As you can see we were boring and didn't dress up, I had too much fun dressing up cute baby Lyla. We watched the kids hit a pinata, Jake golfed...as usual :) handed out candy, Michelle made fun "Mummy" pizza's...YUM!, and played with family! SO FUN



The cute GRAHAM fam! They were a hit, don't they look so GREAT!





This is from last week...This is how Jake feeds Lyla...so creative...or lazy! jk ;) ha


Our Favorite JUDE!! We put them next to each other to see the height difference...isn't that so funny! Jude is 3 1/2 months older than Lyla. (I think she's going to be tall) Isn't he just the CUTEST!!
