Thanksgiving!

So Thanksgiving this year was purely awesome! We went down to St. George on the night of the 21st and spent two days with my family. Then on Wed we left for Jacob Lake, AZ. Sam's mom's side of the family (70+ people) was all getting together there at the lodge. We were there Wed-Sat. There was quite a bit of snow on the ground but other than being cold the weather was lovely. Sam's younger brother brought his Xbox Kinect and everyone got to play it. The dancing game was the biggest hit for the whole family. People of all ages and dancing abilities played and we had great competitions and great laughs (Jairus vs Nick!). We also did karaoke and had a blast!

We ate TONS of WONDERFUL food! On T-day morning we had breakfast then I went into the kitchen and helped anyone that needed help with food prep. I LOVED it! Having access to unlimited food and cooking supplies was a dream come true! We had a wonderful dinner that night and then a few hours later dug into the never ending supply of desserts. So many pies! I made marshmallow brownies and Better Than Sex Cake. They were devoured which made me happy. :)

The next day we did yoga with some family which felt great then went to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. It cost $25 to get into the park which was way lame seeing as no one was there. It was really cool to see the Grand Canyon all snow covered and there were very few people there so no lines or jostling about which was nice. Sat morning we got up and packed and then headed back to St. George for another turkey dinner with my family and my two grandmas. That food was just as good and I'm so glad we got to see both of our families. :) I'm proud to say that I didn't gain any weight over Thanksgiving and that I can't wait till next year!
