Thanksgiving celebrations

Better late than never. We have not been very good about updating our blog, so I have a few different events that I will posting over the next few days. We had a wonderful time hosting our family for Thanksgiving and learned that you don't have to have a large home to host loved ones. My brother and his fiancee flew in from Colorado, my sister and her husband drove up from California, and my mom and step-dad brought their motor home down from Mill Creek. Sadly, my older brother and his family were not able to join us because his daughter got sick. We spent five relaxing days together celebrating Thanksgiving and my brother's engagement with a surprise bridal shower. Avery, my brother's sweet fiancee, also invited my mom, sister and I to a bridal boutique to try on dresses, and she even found a beautiful dress to purchase on "Black Friday." It was a great weekend!
