Thanksgiving Break

Thanksgiving at the Nelson's

Yes, I had the honors of carving the turkey. First time. :)

......

This little boy Looves his Grandma Pat! Lately I've been asking him who loves him the most, and always his respons is "Grandma Pat"

I know this is a bad picture but the Nelson's have this little cubby in their stairway and the kids love to play in it. It was hard to get them out.

Who would of ever thought I would have such a blond haired and blue eyed little boy!

Cousin's - They have so much fun with each other every time!

....

The first Nelson clan family picture!

I really wanted them to get a picture of all the grandkids and grandparents together but it didn't work so well.. Hungry kids + Cold kids + past nap time kids = Not happy kids!

Oh well it was worth a try.

Don't I have a beautiful family!

.....

Jones Family Time

My family always looks super nice on the surface but really...

We're all crazy! ;)

My point exactly.. haha

Ammon was ready to eat!

My cute parents.. I love them!

If you're at the Jones' you can alway bet on some sort of dance party going on with the kids.

I couldn't help but put this picture up of Brynn.. the look on her face cracks me up!

I love going back to Utah to see family. Even though it is a little crazy going back and forth between houses it's worth it to be with people that I love and miss so much.

Ammon's turned 4

Ammon's birthday happened to fall on Thanksgiving this year. We were in Utah at the time so he got spoiled with birthday gifts from family.

Grandma and Grandpa Nelson's house

Because I already did his "BIG" birthday party back at home we didn't do anything too crazy for his actual birthday. But I still wanted him to feel like it was his special day so the night before we covered him up with balloons.

He was pretty excited when he woke up.

We ate some donuts in bed and then headed downstairs to join the rest of the clan.

His new real camera! He was so excited for this and took lots of pictures of our trip.

Party at Grandma and Grandpa Jones' house

He had lots of his cousins in town and they were all able to celebrate this day with him.

Happy Birthday Ammon! We love you more than you will ever know!

Ammon Birthday Party

I can't believe my little boy is 4! I love him like crazy!

He wanted to have a pirate birthday party with some of his friends and can I just say how much fun it was putting everything together! My good friend Delcie had lots of pirate costumes and decorations for us to use which made it that much better.

We decided to all dress up for the party. So glad we did!

We had lots of games to play that night and the kids were in heaven with it all.

Walk the plank

This was very scary as you can see.. ;)

Pin the X on the Treasure Map

My cute friend Amberlee helped me make this. She did an awesome job and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out.

Pinata time.. Our house has no place to do a pinata so out to the garage we went.

All the kids took a turn hitting it but it was still a no go... so it was the adults turn. LOL oh it was so funny to watch.

The Cake

Are you impressed...? :) I loved how it turned out!

After blowing out the candles he opened all of the presents from his friends. I forgot to take pictures but he Loved everything he got. Thanks friends for everything and making this birthday party the best ever!
