Thanksgiving this year was really fun! Regardless of who's family we go with, it's always in St. George. My family has always had Thanksgiving in S.G. and Chris's family has also for the last few years. Now his parents live there. This year we were with the Jacobsen's. It was the first Thanksgiving in their new house so it was alot of fun. Mia (our dog) loves to go there and play with all the other dogs. Plus, she's loves being around so many people and grandma Jacobsen let's her on the furniture so Mia is all about snuggling up on the comfy chairs. Naomi had a blast. She loves being around all the dogs and kids. She kept her self busy by playing in the playroom and watching people play ping pong. She loved kicking her shoes in the red sand which made me crazy! And Chris and I had a great time spending time with siblings and in laws. Pretty much the boys spent most of their time in the theatre room watching football, playing football on the play station or playing ping pong. And us gals hung out upstairs talking and when the kids went down for the night we watched movies and ate candy. My sister in laws are great! I had such a good time with them. I wish I saw them more often. I'm mad I forgot to take a picture of all of us. All of them are so cute and fun to be around.

My family has a little tradition every Thanksgiving where we get up at 4:30 in the morning and drive to Primm Nevada to shop at their outlet mall. Even if it's the Jacobsen's holiday I still go since Chris's family goes golfing for most of the day. We shop for a couple of hours and then drive back to S.G. It's really fun. I usually find really cute things for the three of us. And the Jacobsen's have started a little tradition of their own. We have a mini Olympics. Girls against girls and boys against boys. This year we competed in push ups, long jump, sprint, putting (is that how you spell it?), ping pong and pull ups. I beat the girls in push ups and ping pong and came in second for long jump but they all kicked my butt in putting and sprint. Anyway, we had a good time.

Unfortunately, I forgot to take any pictures of the weekend so I posted some of Naomi that I've taken in the last month. Enjoy!
