This year was such a great Thanksgiving!!! I started it out with a little tradition. Every year on the week of Thanksgiving I go to my Grandma Pinson's house and have a sleep-over with my cousins from California. We drove up to Logan and put some Christmas flowers on my Grandpa's grave and told little memories about Grandpa. He was a very colorful guy!!! We miss him a lot and miss the house that Grandma and Grandpa used to live in. We drove by it just for old times sake :) My cousin Haley is pregnant too, so we got to swap prego stories! Her little boy Jackson is so stinkin' cute, he has so much personality! I had a lot of fun spending that time with my family.

The night before Thanksgiving, I went to my mom's to help her cook. My sister Amy and her family were there as well. We stayed up lating cooking, baking, and laughing :) I didn't get any actual Thanksgiving feast pictures, but it was AMAZING! We had 8 different pies, two rotisserie turkey's, yams, potatoes, carrots, jello, rolls, and so much more! Adam said it was the best dinner he has ever had (I think he says that every year though!) After dinner we had a little birthday party for out November/December Birthdays. It was a busy, fun, noisy, yummy day!
I caught a glimpse of the couch and saw all of my nieces piled on top of Adam while he was reading them Rudolph. Soooooo stinkin' cute, right???
The day after Thanksgiving, we woke up bright and early and headed out for Moab with the Millers. They go every year, but this was my first year going. My brother-in-law Greg rents out a beautiful condo for us to stay in. The first day everyone wanted to go repelling. Due to doc's orders, I was not allowed. So me, Steph, Mandi and baby Jude hiked off trail down to the slot canyon where they would be landing. Not the easiest hike in the world for us! I did manage to twist my ankle in the slot canyon, so I had to hike back up injured, but I toughed through it :) The next morning Adam and Greg went on a bike ride, then we all hiked to some beautiful arches. Adam was there to help his pregnant, injured wife, so I managed pretty well :) We had so much fun outdoors and we played lots of games and ate good food indoors. This is definately a trip I will want to repeat!

Me and Adam. He was such a big help helping me get through some of the tougher spots of the hike! Thanks babe :)
Adam needed a rest after lifting me through a lot of the hike!
Of course he had to find a boulder to climb!
