Thanksgiving Week at Grandma's

These pictures are all out of order. I like them in order as I have OCD, or "CDO" but I am too tired to re-aarrange them all. :) We had a great time with Ryan's Mom and her husband, Bob. Also Grandma Gilmore was there and Sean came from Colorado. My brother, Randy also came and stayed for Thanksgiving. We played countless games, had puppet shows, went on a scavenger hunt, had pillows fights, acted crazy, we went to the movies and saw Hunger Games 3, put together three-1000 piece puzzles! Each puzzle taking 4-5 hours as all of us worked together throughout the week. 

We watched a few movies and had a feast on Thanksgiving day. My brother, Randy was able to join us too, as he was traveling down to Las Vegas the next day. It was great to be with him during that time. 

We also went hiking up in Zion's National Park. It was so beautiful up there and the girls loved hiking so much they wanted to keep going. Avery even asked, "Why don't we go hiking more often?" Well I guess we need to go more, don't we?

After our week trip to Grandma and Grandpa Graf's house we had to head home, but on our way home we stopped in Salt Lake as it was the night the lights would be turned on. I ran into an old high school friend of mine named Kelly, and her family while we were there and that was so much fun to catch up with her and her family. 

Mostly we walked around and enjoyed all the lights. We also took the girls on a tour of the visiting center and got a family picture of the 11 foot statue of Christ.  Thanks Mom and Bob for an amazing time!
