Fun with the Fam!

Starting with Thanksgiving...

The kids were up early helping me make rolls while dad was off playing soccer, Thanksgiving Day tradition. It took Scott a long time to come home because he thought he broke his ankle, he was in the ER!
We rented a moon jump, of course, and the kids had a blast running in and out, watching the parade and then jumping outside.


Our family from CA came to visit...




Skyler and Brock, always rough and tumble!


The usual Ping Pong tournaments...

Kaylee & Hayley made videos on Hayley's computer all weekend

Me & my grandma

This was Ruby's favorite thing to do, and she always did it on demand! Crack up!!!

Ruby & Lilly Dodd

The day after Thanksgiving, we hit Amazing Jakes!


Coincidence



Scott squeezed himself in there for the whole ride!




They rode the enitre ride this way...so cute!









Saturday was Kaylee's B-day, after she had a solo with Calli and her hair done by Julie, we headed to Scottsdale Fashion Square!

The girls locked themselves in the dressing rooms with the most hideous clothes they could find and took pictures of themselves!

Then to the MAC store we went...

Makeover time!

Even Gracie got in on it!

An hour later...

B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!

Then we saw that Libby Lu was having a HUGE SALE, and Gracie got the works for half price! AWESOME BIRTHDAY!!!



When she was all finished, she had her nails done, her hair done, her make-up done, a tiara, a b-day sash, a new puppy, (with cothes and carrying case), a blinged out bracelet, tattoos, and an awesome goody bag full of jewelry and other treats!

And a new outfit too!
Then at home, the B-day festivities began...

It was the cake Kaylee had always dreamed about for her 13th B-day!



Nancy gave her JUICY earrings!

New Boots!

Tre & Teej gave her an awesome ring! And between Grandma Ann & Grandma Ferrin, she made out with $100!

Gracie LOVED the present opening
part of her b-day!

She really wanted Princess barbies, so it was cute to see her reaction to every one!

"For Me?"


This one talks...




Gracie's favorite princess is Ariel. I found her the cutest little outfit on Etsy. But we decided to see how it looked on Noah instead...

Not bad!

On Sunday, Scott blessed Ruby, (Martin & Nancy's daughter), in our ward. Scott gives the most beautiful blessings by the way.

Gotta love the family photos!


That night after my mom hosted dinner at her house, we went to the temple...

(Gracie picked a "great food" at my moms house and wouldn't let it go)

The boys were practicing their gang signs in the parking lot

Ryal's was pretty scary!



Best part of the night...we walked by this display and it was playing a narration in Spanish, Ethan asked if it was "Nacho Libre", pretty awesome!




The temple lights really were beautiful, just like every year!


Fun Thanksgiving Break! Don't know that it was "restful", but lots of fun! We missed you, Tricia, Chase & Holli! Can't wait 'til Christmas!
