Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving this year, Billy and I stayed in Phoenix for Thanksgiving Day. Billy went and played flag football with the ward and played against another ward from Laveen. He had a great time since he absolutely loves football. Later that day, we spent the afternoon with Billy's family (his Dad and Margaret, Uncle Bob and Aunt Shelly and all of Billy's cousins!) We had a great Thanksgiving feast, enjoyed each other's company and ate outside and enjoyed beautiful Phoenix weather.

Here is Billy and I after our big Thanksgiving dinner hanging out on the grass.

I thought the patio was set up really nice and we enjoyed our meal out there. This is definitely one of the huge benefits of living in Phoenix. Not many other places in the country can you sit outside and comfortably enjoy Thanksgiving.

Here is the Cunningham family. It was great to be at the temple with them and to share the special day with Chareese and Richard.


Paige and I are showing off our pregnant bellies together. I think we are about 5-6 weeks apart and she is also having a boy...You can definitely tell who is having the twins though...My significantly larger bump kinda gives it away! :)
Friday morning Billy and I packed up and drove to my brothers house in Southern California. We had some dressers that we weren't using and he had some baby stuff to share with us, so we took the long weekend as an opportunity to go out there and trade stuff around. Michele was wonderful and had collected quite a bit of baby boy clothes for 0-6 months. I started to go through them, but soon realized that they were all cute! It was fun to start accumulating baby stuff and makes it seem more real that in a few months we'll be parents. While we were at my brothers, we went to a pizza buffet that was so good. We all ate way too much food and then played games in the arcade. We had a lot of fun and it was great to spend time with J and his family.

Emma definitely enjoyed all her food! She loved the ice cream especially and even shared it with her hair!

Emma and I are playing Deal or No Deal. Let's just say I didn't do well at the arcade game, and if I ever got on the show and did that bad, I would be so disappointed. I guess it is all about luck and not as easy as you would think.

Here are Fenton and Rosemarie picking out the prizes they were going to get with their tickets. Rosemarie decided that she was going to save her tickets up for a lava lamp but Fenton quickly spent his and played with his toys that night and the next day.We had a great Thanksgiving and are so blessed!
We were fortunate to be able to see parts of both of our families and we look forward to Christmas when my parents, siblings and their kids all come to Phoenix to spend Christmas with us! :)
