We headed up to St. George for Thanksgiving with Andy's family. We were so excited that the whole family was going to be together for a second time this year. Unfortunately, Kathy got sick and had to stay home but Mike still made it with his 3 kids. The kids had so much fun playing with their cute cousin, Noah.
A favorite activity was riding Plasma Cars down the driveway. Ashley and David brought four with them so each of the kids could use their own. I might mention that it was FREEZING and I'm surprised the kids didn't freeze to death!
Uncle Chris was a great sport and played outside with them a lot. Kolson (17) and Henry (13) also played on them with the kids. (Somehow I didn't get any pictures of them, dang!)
When it got too cold they would come inside to play with the marble works we brought, it was a huge hit!
The table ready for Thanksgiving dinner - don't be afraid to admit how jealous you are of that amazing view!
Mike and Ashley carving the turkey - it was perfect! (Even though it finished cooking about 2 hours early, no biggie!)
Most of the adults eating
Grandma sat at the big kids table with Kolson and Henry

We brought a gingerbread house kit and had a fantastic time letting Noah and Henry help decorate it for Grandma and Grandpa. Actually, I'm not sure if Henry helped decorate, he may have just eaten the extra frosting...
This is our humble abode each time we stay in St. George - all three big kids sleep on the air mattress while Mia sleeps in the closet - it is really a perfect set up!
Imagine our surprise when we woke up a few days after Thanksgiving to snow! It never snows in St. George - what a gorgeous sight to see the red rock sprinkled with white snow - gorgeous!
Another view of the snow.
We had such a great time and were able to be there for an entire week. I think Sharon was a bit nervous about everyone being there but in the end it was a great holiday. Other activities included hikes in the red rock, movies, 5 Guys, shopping, swimming, an awesome museum filled with stuffed animals, Pirates Cove for pizza and games, and just relaxing by the fire! I notice I have only a few pictures of Zac and none of Mia - I promise we took her with us, she was probably just sleeping most of the time!
