Thanksgiving

We did it! We drove to Utah and back and we all survived! We went to Utah for Thanksgiving. We decided to leave the Friday before, drive 24 hrs to Lincoln, NE where Nick and Corie live....stay the night, then head out Sunday morning to Vernal, Utah...Ben and Pam's new house. That is exactly what we did. It wasn't too bad. Saturday we got to Nick's house at about 11am. We hung out all day with them, which was fun, then headed to Vernal Sunday at a 6:30. We were all so excited to see everyone!

When we got to Vernal, Benson and Albree, and Jackie and Keith were there with their kids. Grandma had all her fun Christmas decorations out and the kids were so excited to be there. Besides they have a great new house with 8 bedrooms and a hot tub they couldn't wait to get into. :)

A few Pics of Grandma's walls! Which we love! :)

 

We spent a couple of days at Grandma and Grandpas, before leaving Wednesday to Salt Lake City. We took the kids to see Temple Square. We met some friends from our New York Ward (attending school in Utah) on Temple Square and it was fun to see them! We also visited an old friend of mine, Maile, in Lindon before heading to Carolee's house (Nelson's sister). I wish I had taken pics at Maile's but I forgot :(.

 

We stayed at Carolee's house, who just had twins, a boy and girl also. :) They were so cute.

Thursday we spent at Spencer and Trina's. (Spencer is one of Nelson's 13 brothers). Trina's family was all over at her house and it was fun to see them. (We have spent Turkey day with them before). Nelson's family does their big party Friday after Thanksgiving.

The food was great, it was all set up so cute, and the kids had so much fun at their house!

Friday after Thanksgiving, we celebrate the Cluff Thankmas party. :) We started with a skeet shoot at Spencer's house...and also start a progressive dinner and talent show that continues to other's houses. There were almost 75 of us, and it was a load of talent, food, and fun.

We ended up at Carolee's with more Gift exchanges and Santa. :) The kids has so much fun and it was so fun to see everyone!

 

We had to leave out Saturday morning to beat a storm and get home for school and Nelson's work. So we drove 24 hours to Middlebury, IN to see my cousin Becky and her family. We went to dinner with them at Chile's, it was so fun to see them and their sweet girls.

 

Our trip was super fun and although a long drive, it wasn't too bad. I was pleasantly surprised how well the drive was and how well the kids behaved. Even the babies were great. :)

Fun memories.
