Not So Traditional

Our Thanksgiving this year was a little out of the ordinary, but boy did we love it!

Last year we had gone to Utah and froze for 3 days...it was that trip where we decided we were done with winter holidays anywhere north. Why would we leave a paradise of 72 degrees?

My brother had come the 2 weeks before Thanksgiving, so we already did a turkey with him, since he hadn't been home for Thanksgiving in 8 years! My step-dad, Ken, had back surgery the week before, so my parents were in no condition to travel or host.

What were we to do???

Play outside, watch movies, go to the park, go shopping, and decorate for Christmas! The weather was beautiful making it just perfect!

Here's Brooke helping me in the kitchen


Kent and Braelynn watching Megamind


Let's eat! Steak, baked potato, roasted pesto veggies, and yummy sourdough with butter, garlic, and cheese


Kent definitely approves of the new holiday menu!


More bread Braelynn?


Brooke barely made it through the prayer!


Peek-a-boo Brooke!


Ahh- get a load of that sunset!


I love my little sweethearts!



How's the view from up there?


Yes ma'am! Flip-flops in November :)


And now onto Christmas!
